I own a 1206 IH diesel. It's a 113 HP farm tractor. It has a loader on it, heated cab, 3 point and live PTO and hydraulics. I also own 2 8N's a Farmall M and a Tractor Loader Backhoe (TLB). The N's are parked for most of the west MN winters as well as the M. My winter work horse tractor are the 1206 and TLB (both diesel). I have a blower that mounts on the 1206. So most often the 1206 is the go to tractor in the winter with the TLB as a backup. If the TLB had a cab it would be used the most. Overall I use the TLB more hours a year than the 1206. I paid less than 5K for the TLB.
So you really need to look at what's out there. I have a buddy who was thinking he wanted a skid steer. After I talked to him he decided on a 45HP compact utility. For his needs much more versatility.

Many were sold with a 3 point and PTO. I will say that having dealer support is most important! Don't ask! A home made "logging arch" on a 3 point that can lift the butt of the log off the ground makes pulling logs easy.

Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip.
