You have gotten good advice here. I'd be leary of trying to clear any tree over 6" with any kind of tractor Get the little ones with it and then get rent a dozer/highlift/skid steer to get the bigger ones. Spend some time driving and talking to local folks, see what most folks like and who the best local dealer is. Around here it's mostly Ford (XXXX series) and JD with a good smattering of Case/DB's thrown in. Not much straight Case or IH and a few Massey's. I've been trading for over 20 years (wow, has it been that long :-) ). I like something that at least has a recent ancestor still in production, especially nice if there are plenty of aftermarket parts available. Dont let a pretty coat of paint fool you, $300 covers a multitude of problems.
