Long term use - road maintenance. Little grading (garage pad, extra parking", may have to do substantial grading but I m waiting to see how/where snow drifts in and how it drains. probably a garden (less than an acre) so some PTO tilling and 3 pt. Disc/plow. And the only "major PTO" (meaning many hours of.." work would be snow blowing. But that s only "as needed". Hoping to do most of my snow moving with bucket or snow pusher and maybe a back blade.
I read about not doing much PTO work with a torque converter transmission, but snow blowing would be the only substantial PTO job. And that would be hard on a torque converter just because it would require running the engine ar PTO speed, slowly backing into a drift and then having to stop movement while keeping the PTO speed up. Sounds terrible for that system.
I ve considered ag style tractors, but I ve grown up on a farm and you can move loose dirt fine with an ag bucket but if you try doing much grading or anything you tweak your loader frame or bust frame bolts. They re just not made for dirt work. In my experience anyway.
