I've been looking for weeks and thought I had decided on maybe a Ford 2000 or 3000, but there are so many variations, I can't tell which is which. I've seen some decent looking Massey Fergusons and a couple John Deeres, but I can't tell about them either. I've been trying to look at Tractordata.com, but it isn't always complete.
I've got 60 acres, mostly woods. Initially, I'll be skidding logs and maintaining about 3/4 of a mile of road which needs a LOT of grading work. All the videos I've seen of box blading seems like that would work ok. I'd like a FEL, but that's probably not in the budget which is $6000. I don't really care about the brand, but a local mechanic I talked to said Fords were easier for him to work on. I'll probably go with a Ford, MF, or JD with a Mahindra thrown in as a wild card. Most of the newer stuff I see is out of my ballpark unless I finance which is pretty much not going to happen.
I'm thinking about 45HP, but don't know. I saw a post from someone else that was about how I feel.... saying to heck with it, taking the plunge and whatever happens, happens. I have a mechanic buddy who can look at something for me, but I can't drive him all over ***** half acre looking at things for me. I'm not much of a wheeler-dealer either so talking someone down to my price point will probably not happen. Anyway.... any thoughts would be appreciated. :)

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
