Okay, I know there're a few of you out there that use tractors to skid trees in the woods and also with forks to load timbers onto a woodmizer, sawhorses etc.... So I'm looking for some recommendations on what to look for and what the capacities might be of a small tractor. We live on 70 off the grid acres and desperately need a tractor for our firewood needs, brush hogging, and driveway maintenance. In addition I need one for use in my small scale shop for moving timbers, organizing my piles for shipment, and for skidding trees that I'll mill myself. Any ideas and suggestions are heartedly welcome. I've heard good things about the old Fords, but have never worked with them. I've worked with old JD's as well as new ones, but one lookat the $$ and old is where it's at for now. Thanks!
