- Looking for 1st tractor
I recently purchased 41 acres of bottom land and I want to buy a used tractor to work it. I am not sure what size tractor to get. I know that because it is bottom land (floods) that I want a 4WD. 14 acres of the property is wooded with wetlands and a 600 foot long raised driveway topped with concrete washout that leads to my new home on a nearly 10 foot high housepad. The other 27 acres is weed infested rows that up until this year grew crops. Primarily I want to have a tractor to maintain the driveway and a 27 acre pasture, but it would also be nice to be able to use it to work dirt to add to my housepad. I am thinking 35 to 50HP with FEL, box blade, and bush hog. Is ~35HP way too small? Is 50HP even big enough? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
I have limited funds. My wife has suggested that we go to some auctions to find a tractor. Suggestions?
