Tractor Sizing Tractor for 1.2 acres

[careyo63]

Huge lug Bridgestone. Org. Yanmar that I knew they had problem when I purchased the tractor. You could clearly see the dry cracks. Tubed and relined them. Cheap and not the first complaint. What I found with the FM. my rock hard Ga. clay soil is I leave no wheel marks. Tiptoes!! rear discharge Fm. so hardly a mark. The tractor only 1664 LBS.. You can see the proof. Profile Pic. and how much did they crack since 2015. Recent pic.. I can tear up the wet soil. easily!

I have only 1.25 acre, with a pasture and horses.

I had an old subcompact Ford 1100 a few years ago, and it was really nice for doing some work, but limited by it’s small size/weight.

Then I got a Kioti CX2510, and while it’s a tad overkill, it makes short work out of projects. I only put 25 hours on it a year. I use it a couple times a week moving manure. Tomorrow I have 20 tons of sand coming for my arena, so it’ll get a good workout.

I don’t need a tractor. I’m in my late 40s. I’m over pushing wheelbarrows. I also work 65 hours a week, not necessarily by choice. I have more money than time. The 25 hours a year I put on my little tractor saves me a few days of back breaking labor and several more of sore muscles. Plus it’s fun.

Apart from moving manure and the occasional big dirt job, I FREQUENTLY use the tractor for random bizarre jobs, like when I used my 1979 Ford 1100 to hang the doors on my 1979 Ford Bronco.

Yes, once you have a tractor, it's amazing what uses you can find for it, definitely a force multiplier!

Im on 2 acres. Love my massey. Its a great machine. I was worried it was too small. But its actually perfect. I came from a New Holland compact. I actually like the sub compact better. Definitely give massey a look before you pull the trigger.
