I will be looking to get a tractor later this year (new or used) and would like to know what you all think is a good value tractor. Here is my requirements-
Something that can move around a 4X5 bale (bale spear?)
would like to have a front end loader for moving material like driveway gravel and scooping up cut fire wood
would like a bucket for burying dead cows and digging water lines and septic drain fields and electric lines (thinking minimum 40" digging depth)
3 point to run seed spreader and 5-6' mower
something heavy and powerful enough to drag a harrow over 60 acres of broadcast seed or a drag a dead cow to the hole I dug with the bucket
guess that's about it
I have been living with a Ford 8N on a small acreage pulling a 6' blade for driveway grading and a 5' JD mower and 3 pt post hole digger, but not having a live pto really sucks. Its pretty light also, trying to move much gravel in front of that blade (wheel spin)
thanks for your input, bman
