Heya,
40 acres of rec land. Interior slopes with 1 acre pond and creek running down center, which is woodland and grass buffered up to the crop fields. Not farming, fields cash rented. As trees fall, need to saw up and move them, wide grass buffers to mow, not brush hog, perhaps need post hole auger or pounder, pull some small end wheel drills and such if to reseed, maybe a towed small sprayer. I keep thinking my main focus is having a loader asist in my vision, as lifting crap over 80 pounds is better done by machine, not me.
I have used Farmall letter series with loaders, but want to resist temptation to keep doing that as I have seen those Versatile and Ford bi-directional tractors with loader and pto. And i wonder. Could it do the above tasks? What are your thoughts on small rec acreage playing around regarding selecting a machine? Will have some Farmalls around, so not looking for a single machine solution, but more peoples experience in tasking a bi- directional with the above mentioned work.
