Hi Yall,
We are starting a grass finish and calving operation on our humble farm in Central Michigan. We have 18 acres of pasture and have bought our first calves. Now I am looking at a tractor for moving round bales around (with snow on ground) to include off loading from a truck. Scooping up snow will be in its works too. I have been looking at JD 5055E and 5083E. The cost between the two is about 15 K. I am kinda leaning towards the 5083E for the cab which is nice in winter I am sure. Is it to much tractor for my operation though? I look forward to everyones opinions on comments. Many thanks.
