Tractor Sizing Some tractor size info needed (long)

As I have been reading, PHD is better for putting up fencing, driving the post is the best (at least per some of posting I have read). The BH would work well for removing post.

I started looking at the B7510/7610, then the B7800 and ended up with the B2630, which I love (except the ROPS is too tall for my storage area!). I chose it for the hydraulics, lift height and "extras" that I already find useful. Yes, a tilt wheel is nice when getting on and off the tractor especially with long legs. Although I would love a backhoe, I could rent a mini-excavator for weeks for the same price and accomplish a lot more in less time so for me it wasn't a good investment. I just got my Markham toothbar on my loader last night and spent the evening digging rocks and small trees, I love my tractor!

Bottom line, the 7510/7610 would have worked but when financing for 0% I bought the one I wanted. I need the ground clearance as I have 35 acres of woods to navigate so the BX wouldn't have worked. I just picked up a 60" Befco RFM at a great price and I am happy as can be. Get as much machine as you think you will ever need.

I was reading a posting by a member that made lots of cents to me, he talked about long term goals/needs. For me lawn cutting, and some driveway and road maintenace are the big two. This would lead me to a smaller tractor!
