Hello. This is my first post. I'm buying 10 acres (wish it was more but it's a start) and finally following my dream of moving my kids from small town to the country so they can grow up like i did. We're not planning anything too big and crazy but looking to be fairly self sufficient. Have a few cows, pigs, chickens, and a decent sized garden. We have 6 kids and looking to minimize the grocery bill. I've been looking at tractors and could use some more experienced suggestions. Would like something a little older so it's easier to work on, and easier on my wallet. Big enough to run a brush hog, tiller, post hole digger, etc... but small enough to get around trees as about half of my soon to be land is about half pasture and half wooded. I've been thinking something Ford 4000 sized or similar. Between 40-50hp seems like it would be about right. I'd definitely rather have a few too many than not enough. And of course a front end loader would be nice to have
I grew up on a dairy farm, no expert by any means but not a stranger to tractors and equipment. I have found plenty that are in the ballpark of 50hp and the right size for 5' implements or that are bigger and have a loader. Having a terrible time condone one that has all 3.
