What features of a UT are be superior to a CUT in a hilly, rough, treed, bush lot

[Horridfiber]

What features of Utility Tractor outperform a Compact Tractor in a hilly, rough, 100 acres bush lot setting ?
Basically doing some small food plots, firewood, and trails for Maple Syrup in the deep spring snow.

Suggestions on the type of tractor seem to be a resounding Utility Tractor.
I am trying to understand exactly what features are superior and how so.
Traction, ground clearance, more rigid cab structure, more solid frame ?
Heard center of gravity ? But I thought that CUT's were lower to the ground given the height of the Utility's that I have sat in.

Thanks

First of all I couldn't find the "split" of SCUT vs CUT vs Utility but I think of them like in the Kubota lineup
BX series - SCUT, small front wheels
B (and smaller L) series - CUT
M series - Utility, generally above 50 HP, engine.

The utility will give you more lift and ground engagement (pull). Define what you HAVE to lift that can't be broken down into smaller pieces. If all you are doing to the trees is cutting firewood and hauling sap you may not need a utility. These things can probably be broken down smaller pieces and hauled in into several trips. However if you HAVE to be able to pick up a 200 gallon tank full of maple syrup with the loader a CUT may barely manage it. This is often seen when moving bales of hay. If you are buying bales by the 1400 lb rolled bales you'd better be able to handle it.

Other than that and ground clearance a CUT can do everything a Utility can do, it just takes more time. and ground clearance is important in the woods.

Having read some of your other thread I think a Utility tractor would be your best bet.

I've a Kubota M4700, 50HP/42HP @ PTO. I bought that to add to my B7610. I needed more lift capacity. I've about 300 acres of Mississippi woodland. I needed to be able to pick up a 10 foot log for my sawmill and that required a utility tractor.
