Hello, I am new too this forum. Last year, I purchased my Grandparents property, consisting of 20 acres. 15 of the 20 is planted pine. I us a M8560 with loader at my job cleaning land etc. But have never personally owned a tractor.
I am so confused on my actual needs vs. wants. IE: Am I over killing thinking I need something like a L5060. OR Do I just need a Standard L series.
I plan to mow a few acres. Do a lot of cleanup with grapple. Cutting trees down. Moving limbs when they fall. Mow in between the rows of pine trees.
I will be doing more loader work then 3 point implements.
I am just soo worried about getting something too small. Since I work with a 8560 I am thinking about something that is around 50hp.
Just curious what some of you use with around 20 acres and do a lot of loader work. Maybe that is a vague question. Like I said, I am a newbie own here. Or does anyone have any suggestions.
