I need to purchase a new tractor and prefer new over used due to bad experience with a used tractor in the past.
I need a cab due to tinnitus to protect hearing.
I have a Yanmar 3110d today, 31 hp, about 26 pto hp, open station with loader and light weight at 3000 lbs
I’ve encountered issues with using the existing when:
- grading drive, not enough power to box blade the dirt well
- plowing a garden plot
- loader work
I was looking to move up to a MX5400 or MX6000 cab but feeling it may be too big/costly for my use.
Mainly I’m maintaining 1000’ of gravel drive, rotary cutting a field and part of a yard, and improving land by removing small saplings. I will also be doing blueberry farming in addition to my regular garden.
I feel I need a zero turn plus a tractor, so trying to size accordingly. I have a 22 year old John Deer L100 now that’s not doing great.
Here’s the breakdown of allocation by acreage, none on hills:
17 acres in woods, not currently maintained either tractor with no plan to use tractor in it
5 in field currently brush cut with a portion that will go for blueberry farming
1.5 in yard with 0.5 in drain field that a tractor cannot drive over
2 acres in area that is small saplings that could be reclaimed for field
Thanks for thoughts!
