Another Oregon newbie!

[HarleyGuy13]

Hey fella's I stumbled upon TBN the other day while doing some research on my FUTURE tractor. See the wife has given me the go ahead to find myself a tractor. We have 5 acres out here in Oregon. We've been on the place now for about 8 years. I wanted to buy a tractor the day we got the place but I have hard time parting with money.
A little about our place. As I've said we have 5 acres and it's flat. Wife has two horses and that is the main perpose of the place. about 3 acres are designated pasture so I'll need to be mowing it on occassion and fertilizing etc. Have a small orchard (about 3/4 of an acres) that I like to keep mowed. Need to do a fair amount of fencing so I'll be punching some holes in the earth etc.
Well that is me in a nut shell. I'll be around asking alot of questions no doubt and I sure hope I can pick you brains.
Feel free to pass on as much advice as you're willing such as size type etc.

Thanks guys in advance!
Jim

Well let me be the first to welcome you to TBN. You have come to the right place to talk about tractors. Do you favor a particular brand. A lot of people buy from a dealer that is close so it is convenient for service and parts. I would think that you would be looking at about a 25-30 HP tractor.
