The county I live doesn't maintain lots of roads...They provide signs for the road-name but attach "This road not maintained by X county". FTR: I also don't have garbage collection but pay for it through my property taxes :)
The way our deeds are set up - our property lines go to the middle of the road and there is a right-of-way easement that covers "my side" of the road...and the neighbor across the street owns up to my property line w/the same easement going back - thus making a road that is basically owned by the people that live along it. It's also stated that each owner is responsible for maintaining the road that is on their property.
I don't have a lot of choice about maintaining the road - if I don't it quickly becomes a 4wd only road. That wasn't a problem till my wife got a civic :)
One other odd issue w/my neighborhood - it was originally ALL PAVED. In fact - the section in front of my house still is....but that's about it - the rest of the road looks as if it never was. Out of fear and bickering over the years - No one maintained it and it just got worse and worse over the decades till now it's basically just a dirt road neightborhood with a few hundred feet of pavement in one area.
I did ask for opinions and I appreciate the input - The info and advice has given me pause about what direction to take. At this point, I don't know what I'll do in the long run....I will be getting a different tractor even if I just use it to maintain access to my property. What I do beyond that is still a question mark for me.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
