I have never personally owned a tractor.I have operated quite a few MF,Fords,and comercial grade JD,Ford,and Cat.Most of my experience is in general pasture work,drainage,and installing septic systems.I currently maintain our family property which is only two acres.It has two drives and a dirt road that circles us and our neighbor.I am paying or bartering to keep our driveways maintained.My neighbor was paying to keep the dirt road graded and graveled.I plan to take it all over and just pay (split with neighbor) to have gravel dropped as needed.So I have decided to look at CUT and something that I can use when we find a place to homestead.My immediate needs are a finish mower,FEL,forks,and scrape blade.A small back hoe would come in handy from time to time,but not a necessity.I do need the ability of lifting 1000lbs crates and placing them in PU,box truck,or semi,hence the need for forks.4x4 would be nice since we have been getting alot of rain and the road gets muddy.I am looking for something older and used, preferably with roll protection.What recommendations do you all have?
