How does a fella decide which is going to be the best, long term choice. I sure enjoy the old row crop tractors, and many of them have nice loaders added to them to make them usable. Wanting a machine for general farm maintenance type loader work, such as clearing out stumps, maintaining gravel roads, fixing eroded waterways, pulling logs, bush hogging, etc. Seems each has their merit. The wheel tractors are too light to push out stumps and stuff. Each has their own advantages, but the more I think about it, a dozer may be a good choice as an initial purchase, and I could follow up with getting a smaller wheel tractor to pull a shredder and do PTO work.
