I have a bigger tractor now with a loader that we use for hay, but still have the first tractor I bought for this farm, a Ford 2000. It is just so darn nimble and flexible it gets used for most jobs around here.
For skidding, I was able to move 20 ft logs easily. I bought a log skidding attachment called a "Log Hog" from Northern tool. If you are handy with a welder I am sure you cold make one. It is basically a 3 point frame with a chain attached. You drop the thing on the ground, run the chain around the end of the log, then lift it a bit off the ground with the 3-point and drive. Works very well.
I also first purchased a 6.5 ft Woods box blade. It is cat 1 but very substantial and heavy. I can barely budge it to move it a bit to line up the lift arms when putting it on the tractor. The little tractor carries it very well and it really takes the work out of leveling ground. I would not ever be without it. Works 10 times better than using a loader to level dirt, in my opinion.
So, I agree with the rest of the folks, just wanted you to know my story. Only thing that could improve this tractor is if it was a 4000. Actually thought about trading it but decided not to.

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
