For what you are talking about a good Super C with attachments will easily handle your chores. They can be bought including equipment for them for 3 or 4000 dollars. It will pull a 6 or 7 foot bushhog,cut hay,bale hay, plow, pull a 7 foot disk, cultivate and fertilize your sweet corn,and nearly any type of chore. They don't burn much gas, are cheap and easy to work on. Parts are available, just hard to beat. When I was a kid at home we raised 60 acres of corn, 300 acres of hay 15 acres of tobacco and mowed all the pasture which was another 400 acres with 2 Super Cs. We did work from daylight til dark every day, but they will do lots of work. A newer more modern tractor will suit you better, but my point is you do not need any of these big expensive to work on tractors that have been suggested. Some may feel I am crazy, but buying something you just don't need is crazy. Lots of folks here take care of several hundred acres of pasture and crop land with 2 or 3 50 to 60 HP tractors. I live on 900 were I grow 15 acres of tobacco 125 acres of corn and 180 acres of soybeans + hay and 90 cows and have another 200 acres of hay rented and my biggest tractor is a 65 HP 666 IH tractor. I do have several others, but they are smaller.
