Prove the point to who???? Your self??
Lots and lots of home made tractors have been built over the years. When i was a kid, the neighbor had one that he built to skid logs with. Us kids use to start it up and drive it around, as he left it in the woods all the time. My brother built one years ago too, of course he has a "real" one these days. (mostly just to plow snow with) A year or so ago i was at a Yamaha dealer friends shop, and i noticed some junk??? out in his fenced in yard and walked over to it. He came over and said, oohhhh, that's dad's tractor. He built it over 30 years ago. I said, doesn't he still use it?? The answer was, nope, he bought one.
There are a lot of tractors out there to choose from for 5K or less, and personally i'd use all the welding talent for building a lot splitter for it, or what ever you need on your place.
