I've been looking for weeks and thought I had decided on maybe a Ford 2000 or 3000, but there are so many variations, I can't tell which is which. I've seen some decent looking Massey Fergusons and a couple John Deeres, but I can't tell about them either. I've been trying to look at Tractordata.com, but it isn't always complete.
I've got 60 acres, mostly woods. Initially, I'll be skidding logs and maintaining about 3/4 of a mile of road which needs a LOT of grading work. All the videos I've seen of box blading seems like that would work ok. I'd like a FEL, but that's probably not in the budget which is $6000. I don't really care about the brand, but a local mechanic I talked to said Fords were easier for him to work on. I'll probably go with a Ford, MF, or JD with a Mahindra thrown in as a wild card. Most of the newer stuff I see is out of my ballpark unless I finance which is pretty much not going to happen.
I'm thinking about 45HP, but don't know. I saw a post from someone else that was about how I feel.... saying to heck with it, taking the plunge and whatever happens, happens. I have a mechanic buddy who can look at something for me, but I can't drive him all over ***** half acre looking at things for me. I'm not much of a wheeler-dealer either so talking someone down to my price point will probably not happen. Anyway.... any thoughts would be appreciated. :)

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
