Looking for 1st tractor

[rjudge]

I'm looking for my 1st tractor, I live on the coast of Maine and mostly will be using it to move dirt and stones, digging out stumps. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

Welcome rjudge from the coast of NH - and if anything like here, rocks make up half the soil. Depending on the size of your stumps and rocks, a sub compact with a backhoe will work - like Kubota BX23 or 25, or a Massey or Mahindra Max, or Kioti CS models all come with a integrated BH.

For a step up - look at the Kubota B26 TLB but they are $$, or get a full sized construction BH for the big work and sell it - like a Cat 420 Deere 310 etc, they can be very reasonable in cost.
