make/model recommendations

Posted by Unadilla on August 28, 2007 at 04:57:03 from (66.108.21.70):

I'm looking for some make/model recommendations and advice on a first (and hopefully last) tractor for the homestead/farm we're establishing/reviving. As for the farm- upstate NY, hillside, 50 acres (1/3 woodlot, 2/3 pasture), though might double in the same proportions with an adjacent lot. We don't intend to do significant row-cropping or tilling. The things I'd like to be able to do with the tractor are mow/maintain the meadows, auger for fence posts, run a chipper/shredder, plow the driveway and snow removal, maybe run an emergency generator and maybe add a front loader for moving stuff around and to help in future building. I know my way around old cars and motorcycles, so I'm not afraid of mechanicals and maintenance, but prefer the simple to the complex. Of course budget is a concern (when is it not?), but we can get away without something for a while, so I have time to look around. I kind of like the idea of a diesel that could be converted to run on bio, but until a barn is built whatever we get would have to live outside and having spent some cold and miserable winter mornings years ago with a VW diesel I don't know how feasible that would be. Any info to help me make a short list of make/models & features to be looking for is much appreciated!
