I don't mind the noise except my male Aussie wants to stay out in the middle of the night. :D

Take a look at https://www.youtube.com/@GPOutdoors on YouTube from Ontario. He has a LX2610 with Cab. The LX has a midPTO that would allow you to blow snow with a front mount blower. He usually uses a rear blade with the snow blower in Winter. He also regularly uses his grapple. If you look...

Do consider the toxicity of the fluid both to the wheel and the environment if you get a flat. For me, Rim Guard (Beet Juice) was the best choice. Dealers also will come to you to fill your tires in some areas.

It wasn't obvious to me either. Find a picture of the same cutter hooked up to a QH. It will work.

It’s dry where I live, but my dealer recommended a 72 for my L2501. He suggested it would make it easier near fences. I think a 72 is the right size.

I think a tractor makes more sense. Perhaps, consider one with a Mid PTO to have a front mounted snow blower. A LX will lift what you are talking about and has an option of a rear blade. For the gravel road, you can use a grader/scraper. I don't think there is anything equivalent for a...

I'd look at a L3560LE or L4060LE. Buy either with the 805 loader and HST. The loaders are rated in Kilos. In other words, a 805 is 805 x 2.2 in lbs. Or go for a lot more HP with a MX. Gears work well for mowing, but the conventional wisdom is HST is easier using a loader. Sure, there are...

Your next upgrade. Only $116k.

It depends on what you do with the 40 acres, and its makeup. For instance, is it 40 acres of woods that you never plan to work in, or 40 acres that you plan to farm.

Sure, you can buy too large just in case you might want it in the future. That's not very cost effective though. What if you downsize and no longer need a tractor? It's just one approach, but I agree with buy the appropriate size. Once you use it for a while, you'll have a better idea if...

DPFs are no issue until they are. Many people have no issues. Maybe you’ll be one of those.

Fwiw, some MDs recommend a slightly higher BP for seniors to prevent dizziness and falls. You might check into some of the nonstandard care. A new MD is likely following the guidelines to the T. YMMV. For vehicles, I'd rather have a minor fix from time to time than have the payment.

I'm at 4500 and hilly. I'd go L2501 like I did last time. Buy implements with some of the rest.

"Better off" is too general. In what way, so I voted unsure. Btw, I think you'll get better poll results if how people vote isn't visible.

Depending on how tight the bale is, you might be able to lift with a L. A better choice is probably a Grand L3560 LE with the LA805 series loader.
