I have a bigger tractor now with a loader that we use for hay, but still have the first tractor I bought for this farm, a Ford 2000. It is just so darn nimble and flexible it gets used for most jobs around here.
For skidding, I was able to move 20 ft logs easily. I bought a log skidding attachment called a "Log Hog" from Northern tool. If you are handy with a welder I am sure you cold make one. It is basically a 3 point frame with a chain attached. You drop the thing on the ground, run the chain around the end of the log, then lift it a bit off the ground with the 3-point and drive. Works very well.
I also first purchased a 6.5 ft Woods box blade. It is cat 1 but very substantial and heavy. I can barely budge it to move it a bit to line up the lift arms when putting it on the tractor. The little tractor carries it very well and it really takes the work out of leveling ground. I would not ever be without it. Works 10 times better than using a loader to level dirt, in my opinion.
So, I agree with the rest of the folks, just wanted you to know my story. Only thing that could improve this tractor is if it was a 4000. Actually thought about trading it but decided not to.
