Welcome! Your at the right place.. these guys will help you spend your retirement on Tractorage! :thumbsup:

100 acres is a lot.. depending on what you plan to do with it.. you may need something bigger than a compact even. What are you going to do on that 100 acres?

Welcome from Northern NY.You have a huge advantage being a heavy equipment mechanic so your choices are wide.
You could go with older iron if you chose.

I am thinking that is very close to dealer price

You can get same at 60 months 0 % minus the tax

I am thinking you will nned/want a larger tractor- and an HLA 2000 blade is way too big for that to handle properly. (I have the same blade, except it's a 1000, on a L3400, and if I were to do it again, I would go for 72" blade, max.)

Probably R-4 tires for rocks and woods. Chains for snow removal. Hauling wood over rocky ground is hard on a tractor, especially something small like a B26 with its small tires, although it would be handy for lots of projects, for sure. If you are caring for stone or gravel lanes, a rear box blade or grader blade. No cab for work in the woods, but cab for winter snow removal. Ah! You will need two tractors.

Now, more experienced TbN's will start offering some serious advice, so we'll sit back and enjoy the information/opinions that will be coming!
