First tractor research

[rocksnstumps]

^^^Depends on if buying an expensive drill is a future dream for your property. Is so plan accordingly I guess. I know some folks (especially those with deep pocketbooks) consider drills the only way to plant and everyone should strive for..... But my property and likely some others have limited areas to food plot (or just total property size is too small) Not buying some $10k+ piece of equipment to work under 2 acres max in my case without some major equipment terra forming. I have commented on here before but further boulder removal on my land really needs some help from 40,000-50,000 lb equipment.

So drill capable? I. Don't. Care. Loader capability is the holy grail for me. Maybe for others too that drill able acres just isn't there. I focus on more hard and soft mast additions and shrubs for browse vs food plots

That would eliminate the E series from the discussion, but that's why I asked. I appreciate everyone's insights on this one. Keep them coming.

What county are you in? How close is a neighbor? How often would the cabin be used?

I ask this because you mention installing septic. Over the hill systems are not uncommon in very rural areas.

Apply that Money to the $ for a new 3033R and you could have a beast of used tractor with a cab and AC.

Adair. Yeah, we found out about the over 40ac rule up there. My father in law wants septic on his property so we're having it put in.

if not particularly hilly, a mid 30hp drill with solid hydraulic capacity should be able to handle a real deal 6’ pull type no till drill. Not so much with a 3 point.

My L3560 kubota is pretty maxed with a 3p600 land pride and it’s a heavier tractor with stronger hydraulics than most tractors at that power.
