I just purchased 80 acres of reclaimed strip pit property with about half of it being used as pasture at the time. We will build a home on
it in the future but in the meantime will have to at least mow it after the guy leasing the pasture removes his cattle. The property has a
long strip pit on it with the terrain sloping down into the pit and appears to have some low spots that could be wet areas when we have
enough rain. This is in southeast Kansas which we just moved to so don't know if the dryness is common or not. I had an old MF 231 that was
38HP that I sold when we moved, and it worked great for the small amount of brush hogging I had to do there. I have much more to either mow
and or bale here so I am wondering what kind of tractor would be needed? Would 4-wheel drive be needed due to the low areas? I know I must
have a front-end loader as that was something I used a LOT on my 231. Also interested in brands as I see a lot more utility tractor brands
than back when I bought the old MF. I don't know if I can afford new so used ideas are OK as well.
