Hi Im new, live in Jamaica and need some advice on what tractor to buy for my 10 acre sugar cane farm and need advice on a tractor.

Terrain
The land can be very muddy in rainy season and extremely dry with cracks at times in the year. It also has alot of terribly tough and invasive tropical grass.

Needs
I would need this tractor to plought the land to create furrows and maintain the field. Having the loader and backhoe capability of a TLB would be a plus for rental it when not in use. I would then get attachments for landclearing, creating canals, digging holes for posts and other stuff. The main thing is the ploughing which is done before planting.

Note
It also must not exceed 2200 kg, as my pickup cannot tow beyond 3500 kg.I don't know anything about tractors and how much power it would require brake the soil using mouldboards and disc ploughs. I'm consider the a kubota b26, l39 is too heavy.

WHAT IVE LOOKED AT
Kubota b26 Perfect size but Is 27 hp enough power to plough
Kubota l39/JD 110 tbl tips the scale with its weight no room for trailor weight
McCormick no TBLS
New Holland t1500 series not TLBS
MS 1600 series not TLB
Vatra A series too heavy
Iseki Not TBL

You stated your concerns about the sufficient HP requirement for plowing. There are many variables to consider, such as type of soil and the weight of the implement. Perhaps browsing this website will provide you with some insight and aid you in helping you make a decision. TractorData.com - information on all makes and models of tractors
