I have a 64 Ford 4000 gas, 2wd, (45 hp) and a John Deere 2755 diesel, 2wd, (75 hp). I started out with 8 acres of horse pasture. The 4000 plus a boom pole did 99% of what I needed to do. It will easily pull a 6 foot bushhog or a 7 foot finih mower. I then bought 75 acres of woods and trails. The 4000 was not quite enough any more. I then bought the 2755 and a 15 foot bat wing bushhog. The 2755 will handle it easily. I do not have a front end loader. I don't really care to have the thing hanging iff the front of my tractor all of the time. I'd rather have a friend with a FEL than have one myself. I think you will find parts pretty easy to obtain on any name brand tractor in the 50-75 hp class. I have a Kawasaki Mule with a dump bed that I find to be super handy. If I had 18 acres and a couple of horses I would have the Mule and then some sort of tractor to mow grass. I think you will find with the Mule (or other UTV), you will seldom use the tractor. If you have a gravel driveway you will need a box blade or something similar. I will grab the Ford for most small jobs because it us so handy, but I really like the JD with cab and AC for hours of bushhogging. Oh yeah, another advantage of a smaller tractor is you can haul it on a standard 16 foot trailer. Welcome to the forum!
