I have a dilemma and I'd like your opinions. My fiancee and I are purchasing 25 acres of rolling land with a stream. Twenty acres are lightly wooded, and 5 acres are open. We intend to build a house, put up some fence, and keep a couple of beef cows. We need something to mow the grassy areas, and to clear some of the wooded area.
My question is: do I use my Case 430 and get a bushhog / finish mower, or should I break down and buy a new compact tractor with a belly mower? The 430 is a good tractor, but I don't know if I'd need power steering, 4WD, hydrostatic transmission, or other options that are available on the new ones. On the other hand, I could put a little money into the Case and a mower and not have any payments. Your thoughts? And if you suggest getting a new one, please let me know what you think the best brand / size is for what we're doing.
