Looking to get a tractor
Im starting to feel the effects of physical labor and (hopefully) have many years left of it so I want things to be as easy as possible. I really dont know much about tractors but id like to get one for my property, roughly 3 acres with half that being wooded. id mainly bush hogging, clearing small trees and some light grading. Ive seen alot of older compact tractors for under $3k. I really would like one with a front end loader but those seem to be pretty pricey.
People without a front end loader, do you find yourself wishing you had it or does the pto and 3 point hitch get most work done just fine?
Like I said I really dont know anything about tractors other than watching a few videos and getting overwhelmed by everyone having different set ups.
