I've been looking for weeks and thought I had decided on maybe a Ford 2000 or 3000, but there are so many variations, I can't tell which is which. I've seen some decent looking Massey Fergusons and a couple John Deeres, but I can't tell about them either. I've been trying to look at Tractordata.com, but it isn't always complete.
I've got 60 acres, mostly woods. Initially, I'll be skidding logs and maintaining about 3/4 of a mile of road which needs a LOT of grading work. All the videos I've seen of box blading seems like that would work ok. I'd like a FEL, but that's probably not in the budget which is $6000. I don't really care about the brand, but a local mechanic I talked to said Fords were easier for him to work on. I'll probably go with a Ford, MF, or JD with a Mahindra thrown in as a wild card. Most of the newer stuff I see is out of my ballpark unless I finance which is pretty much not going to happen.
I'm thinking about 45HP, but don't know. I saw a post from someone else that was about how I feel.... saying to heck with it, taking the plunge and whatever happens, happens. I have a mechanic buddy who can look at something for me, but I can't drive him all over ***** half acre looking at things for me. I'm not much of a wheeler-dealer either so talking someone down to my price point will probably not happen. Anyway.... any thoughts would be appreciated. :)
