[QUOTE="chaded, post: 1808534, member: 33922"] I think something in the 75 hp range would fit the bill quite nicely. I have a good but more land and use a jd 5075e and haven’t needed anything bigger yet. I paid mid $40,000s with a cab and loader brand new. I have helped the hay guys at times with my hay when something has happened and if i wanted to do my own hay that tractor would be just fine. No it’s not going to run the biggest cutter or baler but with this amount of land it doesn’t need to. A 4x5 baler and 7-8’ disc mower it would run just fine. I was sort of in the same situation when I bought my farm. If I wanted the next size tractor up it seemed to jump up to the 75-85k price range and I personally couldn’t justify it even though I could afford it. So I settle with the 5075. I’m of the opinion if your going to have a farm you need some sort of tractor. I can’t imagine having to rely on someone else for everything that you would use a tractor for. While the financial part of it does and should factor into decisions, there are some things that is hard to put a price on, independence being one. [/QUOTE]
