On the other hand, I don't know if I'd ever actually get comfortable enough to wobble around on two wheels they way they did. Some of the contractors working on the house have shown me that a skid steer can do a very impressive job of digging and moving dirt, and can do it on slopes I won't try driving my tractor on. With 4wd, it should be a little better than my tractor on the hills, but I still think most of my property will be out of reach.
It won't be as capable as a big backhoe, but still can probably do everything I need to do. If I bought a much newer CUT backhoe, like a Kubota 元9, I feel like there's less chance it will need any major work. Plus, being so remote, I can't afford to buy a machine that might need any major work. But even with 4 wheel drive, I don't think it would be any better on the hills than my existing tractor. I have no doubt it would do all the dirt work I need, and is probably the only one of my four options that would allow me to clean out the pond. It looks like I should be able to find a backhoe in my price range, but it will have 5-6,000 hours on it. newer, low-hours 4wd CUT tractor/loader/backhoe combination * maintain some old logging roads through the woods that provide access to parts of the propertyĢ. * general landscaping work around the house, again, where it's too steep for my existing tractor * move snow when there's more than my 4-wheeler can push * widen the driveway by moving dirt 100 yards or so downhill to fill, then smooth Much of that is steep enough I'm not comfortable doing it with my tractor. * back fill around the house foundations have settled, so I need to do more backfill around the house. Some of the jobs I think I would do if I had the right equipment include: There are a lot of projects I could do around the place, although, to be realistic, I'm not going to be putting a huge number of hours on whatever piece of equipment I buy. So, I'm looking for something that will let me do more work around the place, myself, and I'm looking for advice on how to get the most out of about $20-25,000. It's also just two-wheel drive, so even with chains on it often wont make it up the driveway in the winter. I have an old farm tractor with loader that I use for mowing, and maintaining the driveway, but there's very little flat ground, which really limits where I can use it. The site is so remote that hiring someone to do dirt work is very expensive, when I can even find somebody willing to haul all the way out here. I've recently finished building a house on about 160 acres in the mountains of southern Colorado.
