You must be Neal. Sounds like you know your stuff so I was hoping to get your opinion on some new tractor thoughts I was having as well.
My farm is much smaller, 16 Acres. I grow Christmas Trees mostly and garden a lot. I have a lawn tractor for fine mowing around the hose, that is not at issue. I laso have an older TO-20 Ferguson and a Mitsubishi MT-100. The TO-20 is used for heavier pulling and brush hogging. Also for snow plow with back blade, but it is not very good at that.
The MT-100 is for mowing and tilling. Has turf tires so the impact on nicer grassy areas when mowing is not so rough. I can't use this in the winter, although i do love rthe 4 wheel drive.
I am thinking of a new tractor to replace the two above. If I could find one that would plow snow, have PTO RPM's to drive mower, enough HP to drive brush hog, 4 whl drive, diesel, heavy enough to handle hauling logs and dealing iwth heavy snow, yet not damage grassy areas I would have found what I am looking for. Quite a mouthful?
