Hello everyone,
My family is in the process of purchasing 110 acres in VT. The driveway is about 3/4 of a mile long. The land is old farmland now turned to woods. We are not full-time farmers, but will be raising a few critters and harvesting a little firewood every year. We would also like to plow our own driveway. I am interested in a vintage tractor that probably won't see more than ~100-200 hours of use a year, probably 30-50 hp, with mid/front pto for a snowblower and cutter for brush hogging. Anyone have any recommendations.
I'm looking to spend no more than 10k, ideally less. I'm okay without a cab (some will think I'm crazy). The tractor will be kept in a garage when not in use.
Thanks in advance for the expertise of the hive mind!
Cheers,
Michael
