RE: Need Some Help Please... Tractor Help
We have a 64hp JD. It will do pretty much anything we want. Any dealer will tell you to buy as much horsepower as you can afford. As far as digging ponds, you'll need a doser. A front end loader on an agriculture tractor is not made to handle the abuse, You will be able to do all of the other items mentioned though. I don't know how much you have to plant, mow, disk etc... but you will be much happier with big equipment 10'+ as opposed to smaller 5-8' equip. We plant around 15 acres for food plots and it takes for ever with our 6' disk. We are going to buy a 10-12' soon. We just purchased a 12' grain drill and I can't wait to use it. Going up this weekend to fertilze and spray and herbicide and plant cowpeas with it the next weekend. Like I said go with bigger implements and a bigger tractor unless you plan on doing less the 4-5 acres or you have lots of time on your hands.
My .02 cents.
