https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/grd/d/longview-kioti-cx2510hst-for-sale/7792868901.html Hmmm okay - I'll shoot them a message. Thank you, @tacticalturnip - I'll keep an eye on what you listed.

No - I was noncommittal - feeling better though but still positive. Going to try to visit the 1023e again this week, and will do that then. I did ask them about that (I think), to install this plus add a grapple - they quoted $3600 for this plus the attachment. Thank you!! I looked through...

It went ~okay~ - the TYM / LS dealer was closed and it almost looked abandoned, so probably not an option. I ended up testing positive for covid on Saturday, so I cancelled the visit to the tractor until I'm better. Prior to feeling poorly and realizing I was sick, I did go to see JD / Kubota...

I agree with your observation. I work very hard to keep my space in nice condition- but also work 10 hours+/day during the week in an office. As a result, I’m faced with constant maintenance to keep up versus executing projects that I aspire to achieve. If that means I want a tractor, and don’t...

Yes! I have truck - I'll look into this further if I decide to go this direction. There's an equipment rental business similar to what you described in the area, I guess I'm more anxious about doing this on my own and would prefer paying a premium for help to avoid introducing chaos / danger to...

Thanks @WinterDeere and @Little Red Tractor for the additional insight - I'm still here reading, and rereading, everyone's comments, posts, and advice, so I really appreciate the continued wisdom! As an update, I'm doing a couple things this weekend (if anyone wants to know lol). Today, going...

Thanks :) There is certainly a consolidation of rocks in certain areas - which I tried to show an example, but they're scattered about, as well. I don't really mind them aside from the potential damage they can do to my equipment. I agree, next steps are a visit to a few dealers and going to...

Thank you for your assessment, I'm trying to set up a time to go this weekend.

Disclaimer: Tried my best on these - but I'll try to explain in captions. The property wraps around the house, so I focused on the larger areas and it's essentially more of what is captured below. This is what it looked like when I moved here. Property extends to the tree line at the back...

Not condescending at all, I appreciate you sharing your experience and insight. Overall, and graciously, I'm getting a spectrum of feedback and realize my decision to buy new versus old relies on several factors: availability of secondhand equipment (and a willingness to patiently wait for it)...

It's pretty common to find basketball sized / beachball sized rocks just beneath the surface. Some are strategically used, by previous owners, do build up areas. Others just exist around me - and I drive around them when I mow. Wanted to say thank you again for the continued responses. You all...

Okay! I will later this afternoon : ) / tomorrow morning

Thank you! I absolutely needed to read this, and appreciate your safety advice :) I needed to read this.

I want to get a goat or 2! For multiple reasons - my main hobby besides outdoors-related things is spinning wool and an pygora goat is in my future, but most likely distant future. The dual purpose is tempting. Not sure if that's actually feasible given what I've read about keeping them (escape...

Cursory reviewing the a popular marketplace, I sent a message about this one. Based on another post by her, appears to be an estate sale, which describes the ideal situation you all defined previously. I should go to a dealer first just to get acquainted with the equipment prior to an open...

Please excuse this dumb question - what is a thumb? I would love to get a backhoe - would you recommend getting that when I make the initial purchase if I decide to purchase new? Thank you for your post - this resonates - but over the last few days, I have learned so much! What books do you...

This is excellent insight, thank you for your reply. Also, hope camping was fun! These basic tenants are a good break down for something to look for. I have a 2 car garage that houses my mower and believe a tractor would fit in there next to it. As an update for anyone interested, I did talk...

Thank you, I absolutely agree at this point. This is the logical first step, and I already asked my dad to come with me when he's back in town. Also, thank you everyone so much for the insight on HST. I watched the video and now get exactly why I need this.

Thank you for the straightforward advice. It's been very interesting to navigate the highly technical insight regarding implements and specs, in combination with advice on how to approach a used purchase. Your logic makes sense to my smooth brain on the matter. As a note, I always buy new cars...

At this point, I feel like it's possible for me to handle this. I can learn, right? I have the internet, right? Too ambitious in reality, I don't have the time available to me to dedicate. I want the perfect, sensible solution that magically encapsulates my needs. That's, unfortunately, not how...

Thank you - another thing I didn't know and now I do! Maneuverability is crucial. I like to LARP as a strong lady, but sometimes I have to accept that I have limits. Accessible changes I can make on my own will be very important to me. Based on what has been shared, keeping the front loader on...

Thank you everyone, I am overwhelmed by the responses and am so appreciative of the wisdom you're taking the time to share with me. Wood moving - I just mean split logs, fallen branches - usually like to break them down before moving them currently as storms bring down hemlock branches the...

I think based on the feedback I'm getting, a used one may be the best avenue. I was thinking that since I can afford to purchase something new, I should, but there were clearly flaws in my reasoning. Thank you for providing the models for JD. I was having their website difficult to navigate...

That's solid advice and perhaps a more realistic approach to what my initial impression was. I had to look up what Cat 1 implements were but that does seem pertinent to what I described needing. I'll have to look into getting one second hand, perhaps I'm not familiar with the market or where...

Hi! I will have to try your recommendation with the chain and hook. I have all of those tools at my disposal right now, and will be giving this a go this weekend :) My broad fork is how I've been getting at the rhizomes but it's just an overwhelming uphill battle that I am constantly losing...

Looking to purchase my first tractor. Have decent lawn tractor (JD x350) but it's proven inadequate for any projects beyond cutting grass. There is a John Deere dealership nearby, and a Kubota dealer even closer, so I would like to limit my search to these brands. I currently live on a 3.8...
