Need a tractor to do some snow removal, bush-hogging and general workhorse for a 300 acre farm. The renter is farming the land and maintains the majority of the acreage but I need something to maintain the tree lines, creek bottoms and other areas he doesn"t use. I don"t think the 8n has enough rear end for the job and I want live hydraulics so I can back into brush and work in tight places.
Back in my youth we had Ford 4000 and 5000 models with blades and sidewinder bush hogs for the job, they were great but they are all gone. Looking at a 1970 Ford 2000 for $4500. No bush hog or blade so that would be an extra expense. Interested in advise about the size of the tractor and intent.
