New from Ecuador

I need help choosing a strong enough tractor for work on a mountain with steep areas. A compact tractor with front loader and backhoe is what we are looking for. Should I be looking for certain kind of wheels, horsepower, 4 wheel drive, etc? I am looking to purchase here in the states and ship to Ecuador for a coffee farm.

Those are some good questions. :thumbsup:

I'm going to move your thread on over to the buying and pricing section to get you some answers.

I know zero about coffee farming. What kind of land is involved? Are there clearance issues? How steep is it? FEL is good. R1 tires are usual. 4WD is standard on most modern CUTs. HP depends on what you're doing with it. Compact generally cuts off at about 45-50HP though.
