I have a more primary tillage tractor question - two years ago we bought a used branson 3510 (bought it very soon after having a kid...wasn't my best judgement) and it was working out fine for us. We bought a much larger disc harrow last year (6' athens) and the little guy just can't keep up. We are also adding more land and need to get things ready faster, so I am considering trading in the branson for something bigger. For right now we use 48" bed tops on 5 foot (60") on center beds (with 1-4 rows per bed / we are planning to drop down to 1-3 rows hopefully next year and widen up our space between rows) and ideally want a tractor to match (so 12" or comparable wheel would be useful). Any insights/suggestions/general commentary? Locally we have a john deere, kubota and kioti dealers both with some mix of used options. We would like to keep a bucket around for rocks (and pallet forks), we use the 6' harrow, three shank chisel plow, 5' perfecta, 5' tiller, 5' mower as our main tools. Thanks in advance for any advice.
