You don't need a big tractor to plant game plots in most toil. This is the smallest of our tractors. It's a Mitsubishi D1600 rated at 18 horsepower bought in 2003. It came with a new 4' brushhog: For $3,000. For 10 years it was the only tractor used at that place. We cleaned up 20 acres of hayfield that was overgrown with sumac and wild plum and kept two miles of roads mowed. Twice every year we planted 3-5 acres of game plots.
That little tractor pulls a 5' tandem disc. Sometimes the wheels spin and the disk has to be raised for a few seconds but it gets the job done. That tractor runs at 2,500 rpm for 8 hours on less than 4 gallons of diesel.
