17 years ago when we moved onto this property I bought a 71 Ford 3000 diesel with a loader and box blade for $4500.00. Then a year later bought a used John Deere 25A flail mower at auction. This would be the perfect combination for what you are wanting to do.
Mine has been mowing 8 acres, keeping the 1/4 mile drive in good shape and moving dirt and gravel as needed for 17 years without a major problem. Parts are readily available and regardless what you hear the front end has held up just fine.
I have grass and really like the flail mower because it gives a better cut and doesn't leave windrows like a brush hog. You may be happy with a rotary for what you are cutting, they are less expensive and take less maintenance.
Have to completely disagree with the one that says get gas over diesel. Diesel engines are whole lot less work to maintain, basically all I have done over the last 17 years is change fluids and filters. No carb to get gunked up, no points to burn or plugs to change.

After considerable advise and assistance from local tractor nuts and the forums of Yesterday�s Tractors, I had finally got it running pretty well. I have tuned it up, overhauled the carburetor, installed a borrowed, rebuilt magneto, installed a new Power-Trol, patched the radiator, installed new front wheels a
