I live in an OLD farmhouse (c. 1742) on a 140 farm in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Lots of
people have made "improvements" to the place, such as the man who formerly lived here. He built a cement and flag stone cover for the septic tank. It weighs around 500 lb.s It has an eye so that I can lift it off with a boom pole.
I have been borrowing a fancy kubota with front
end loader and backhoe to do the work, but I am
really wanting to not load up the kubota and transfer it when I want to just have the septic
pumped. A boom pole would be perfect.
Also, maybe my neighbor might want to chain and move long timber as he does firewood. I used to help Daddy do that at our sawmill(buzzsawmill)

My main purpose of the tractor is to use the brush hog for clearing 8' high briars, using a 3-bottom plow, small disc. etc. to plant around 10 acres of the working farm with various crops such as sweet corn (I have a 2-row drill), sunflowers, flowers, berry plants and also clear
around 20 more acres (eventually) which are overgrown to maybe start a small vegetable farm.
Hey!!! It's New Jersey....great produce!!!!!!!

I don't even know what category pole I need. I want the strongest lift capacity that the tractor can handle.

Any suggestions that you could give are greatly appreciated.

I am so much happier on the tractor seat of an M than on that filthy piano bench!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much,
Shirl
