For your orchard type use a utility tractor may be better suited to your needs as it sits lower to clear branches, etc. With your intended uses a loader seems mandatory. Once you have a loader with a bucket a set of pallet forks is really handy for handling palletized items like bees, supplies, and the like. And in my experience a shuttle type transmission is a perfect fit for a loader tractor. Some of your newer lower horsepower utility tractors have hydrostatic transmissions but I never liked them. Ugly memories of renting one when mine was in the repair shop still linger in my head. The right tractor in the 55 to 65 horsepower range will do all of your required jobs. Remember that in general more power equates to more weight which equates to more compaction. I know of a low hour four wheel drive New Holland with 12 speed shuttle transmission, roll bar with canopy, dual rear hydraulic remotes, hydraulic top link, 3 point quick hitch, loader with quick tach bucket and pallet forks that is for sale. It will come with box blade and newly restored, but never used, 3 point 7 foot wide field cultivator. There may also be some spraying equipment that goes with it as a package deal. If you can find something like this in your area, it would make you a good setup for starters. Good luck in your search. Let me know if I can be of further help.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
