Hi Steve from Fred Steve you won't do much digging with a small tractor except with a rear scoop. The old loaders don't do much good either on the smaller tractors, you need a backhoe for that. But for the rest of the things you mentioned, most people get a wide frontend tractor in the twenty to thirty h.p. range for the five acre spreads. They will bushhog and run a rear mounted blade for doing a little leveling on the driveway. You're probably better off getting one with live power take off. If you're serious about a loader, you ought to buy it with the tractor cause they're kinda hard to find loose (and expensive). Most will tell you to buy a diesel, they're cheaper to operate but if you go to town and buy it out of a pump, you are paying road tax on it and that's not cheaper. I suggest a MF-35 or International 350 with a gas engine for your first one, no matter as long as it runs good and the hydraulics work good. Fred from the Mung Factory
