    Awesome! I didn’t know sunbelt existed, so thank you for the tip! There is one nearby. Perfect!

    Where to rent implements as homeowner.

    I’ve heard about renting implements, but locally I only know one place about an hour away that rents to contractors with an account and a “million dollar policy in the name of” the business renting. Called multiple other local dealers and no luck. I’m looking for a tiller and pulverizer to work...

    Tractor for 10 NY acres of flat, clay soil and wetland forest?

    I’m leaning towards the wait and see approach on the blower, especially because I have a good Ariens walk behind. And starting to think the R14s would be the best choice. R4s second best, esp with chains. Do you remove the chains in the spring or just leave them year round? Isn’t removal a PIA?

    Tractor for 10 NY acres of flat, clay soil and wetland forest?

    Anyone have any experience with Bobcat? I get that Kubota has a better Rep and parts market and landpride attachments, but Bobcat seems like a serious, albeit newer tractor contender. I’ve googled CT2025 vs L2501 and the official Kubota line is to say that they have a couple more inches of...

    Tractor for 10 NY acres of flat, clay soil and wetland forest?

    Talked to Bobcat dealer about options, either buying used or bobcat new. He was actually super helpful. He persuaded me that I may not even need a snowblower at first, and wait and see how often it would be useful before investing. In my more northeastern WNY location, we don’t get as much of...

    Tractor for 10 NY acres of flat, clay soil and wetland forest?

    This is good advice! I live just North East of Buffalo, so less snow than the southern Tier off Lake Erie, but still get a good amount of blizzards. I’ll go look at the used B series near me that is set up with the cab and front blower. I’m hesitant to loose the FEL with the front blower.

    Oh, and a new set of tires wheels to swap on and off for wet work.

    Tractor for 10 NY acres of flat, clay soil and wetland forest?

    All good points! I would be adjusting the chute often, as there are several structures around the lot that I need to blow the snow away from. Not a set it and forget it configuration. I think it’s pretty easy to manually crank, but a lot of looking and working backwards. As for the L3302, I am...

    Tractor for 10 NY acres of flat, clay soil and wetland forest?

    The options are endless as long as your money is. I suppose I figured a good ski mask and goggles would keep me covered; although I get how convenient a cab would be in the blowing snow. I thought about the top n tilt, but didn't think my little property and few projects warranted the extra...

    Tractor for 10 NY acres of flat, clay soil and wetland forest?

    First time tractor purchase here in rural Western New York. I have 10 residential acres, a bit more than half of which is flat and mowable (I use a Zero-Turn with a 60" deck). Will use tractor for several projects, and general property maintenance. I have been steered into a L2501 by the local...
