I know that this is a loaded question, but I dont even know where to start. Here is my situation. My wife and I own horses. We recently bought 10 acres. Our land is in Nebraska, and is fairly level. a very slight down hill slope is all. We have 7 horses right now and feed large round bales of hay. Currently we have a neighbor who carries over a couple of bales, and puts them in our dry lot for us. We are paying extra for the hay and his time to do that. What we are wanting to do is get a tractor with enough power and with a front end loader so that we can stack the round bales, and put them in thelot ourselves when we need. This will also allow us to clear our own drive of snow etc. So here is what I am looking for. Something that can handle a front end loader and is large enough to handle hay bales (they are usually around 122 lbs, but I have seen bales as large as a ton. I also would like something that I can fertilize the pasture, maybe mow the pastures etc. Lastly I would prefer something with a PTO and 3 point hitch so that I can add an auger for digging fence post hole etc. I am fairly handy, but I dont know a thing about tractors, I have only driven one a couple of times, and really dont know much. Having just raised horses on a small acreage, this is new to me. I dont know what manufactures, or models to look at. I would just like to be pointed in the direction of a few modles that would work, and preferably ones that would have alot available. Thanks for your help.
