Landscaping use

[1gr8bldr]

I am looking to buy a tractor suitable for doing my own landscaping. Most of my rough grade will be done with my skidsteer, even power raking. What I need .... and I don't even know for sure, is for a box scrape, a drag, etc. Something that can move quick. LOL, I don't know what all I need it to do. I have always hired this out but would like to start doing it myself on all my jobs. My current sentimental tractor, because it was my dads, a Super Dexta, would not work well for this. I am thinking that I need hydrostatic????? I am thinking I do not need a bucket??? But... would the hydrostatic do well enough for plowing foodplots. So, help me decide what I need

I use a ctl for grading and heavy lifting, and a hydrostatic tractor with a loader for everything else. The hydro makes it fast compared to a gear tractor, and a heavy box blade and land plane handle finish grading and gravel duties. Lots of photos of the tractor's work on my photo thread.
