Last year we moved to a 34 acre hobby farm. Much of the 34 acres is wooded, with about 2/3 of an acre of finished lawn and maybe 12 acres of pasture and hayfields. My neighbor takes care of the hay, so no heavy tractor work required. My four sons take care of the lawn with a push mower and a craftsman rider. Snow management for our 1/4 mile long road is handled by a RTV with a plow. The tractor would be used for brush hogging around the perimeter of the pastures and fields, along with trail maintenance. We'd also be using a grader plane to maintain the road. Obviously, we have plenty of small loader chores (manure, gravel for the road, compost for the garden) at some point we'd probably get a tiller for the garden. It's small enough to till with a walk behind at this point.
I really don't have plans for a MMM at this point, and are considering the following models: B2650, L2501, and L3301
We'll get HST because my wife and oldest kids will be running it.
The B2650 and L2501 are nearly the same price with the L weighing more, but the B having greater 3pt lift. The L3301 is in the mix because I just don't know if the 2501 has enough PTO power to do what I want.
Thoughts?
