For your orchard type use a utility tractor may be better suited to your needs as it sits lower to clear branches, etc. With your intended uses a loader seems mandatory. Once you have a loader with a bucket a set of pallet forks is really handy for handling palletized items like bees, supplies, and the like. And in my experience a shuttle type transmission is a perfect fit for a loader tractor. Some of your newer lower horsepower utility tractors have hydrostatic transmissions but I never liked them. Ugly memories of renting one when mine was in the repair shop still linger in my head. The right tractor in the 55 to 65 horsepower range will do all of your required jobs. Remember that in general more power equates to more weight which equates to more compaction. I know of a low hour four wheel drive New Holland with 12 speed shuttle transmission, roll bar with canopy, dual rear hydraulic remotes, hydraulic top link, 3 point quick hitch, loader with quick tach bucket and pallet forks that is for sale. It will come with box blade and newly restored, but never used, 3 point 7 foot wide field cultivator. There may also be some spraying equipment that goes with it as a package deal. If you can find something like this in your area, it would make you a good setup for starters. Good luck in your search. Let me know if I can be of further help.

Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
