Speaking as one who does nearly exactly what this guy wants to do, ie, maintain 5 acres, build some fence, run small equipment, etc. I can tell you that the $13,000 I spent 11 years ago on a JD 750 4wd compact diesel, a Woods brush hog, a tiller and a front-end loader has been worth every dime! Actually, I had the tractor 3 or 4 years before I bought the loader, and since I've had it, I will NEVER be without one again. Moving manure, grading out dirt, pulling fence posts, lugging everything from 5 gallon buckets of fuel to rocks to stumps to fence posts, setting my tiller into the back of my truck, it has been a labor saver like you wouldn't believe. COULD it be done with a 40 year old row crop? Sure. Would it be fun? Probably. Would it be as easy as a modern utility? Nope. Have I done $13,000 worth of work with it? Nope, but I guarantee I will before I wear it out! In eleven years, I've put exactly one battery in it. That's it for parts, period. Just my opinion, of course.
