Good day,<br>
<br>
New guy doing research, lots of info on this site, lots of choices!!<br>
<br>
We have a 12 acre property in Eastern Ontario;4-lawn, gardens and fields, 5-pine trees(10-20ft tall), and 4 of mixed bush with small pond. I am currently looking at the MF GC2310, Kubota BX or Kioti CK. I am looking for a tractor to move dirt, gravel, stones, snow, mulch and firewood. Possibly to till a vegtable garden, could rent portable tiller. I would like a backhoe for digging trenches to run water lines to a barn, planting trees, digging out small tree stumps, excavating small ponds, and possibly digging around our homes foundation to redo the drainage tile. We may use the tractor to cut the lawn, we currently have a Sears 19HP lawn tractor. Could also use it to blow snow.<br>
<br>
My dilemma is size of tractor, can a GC2310 due the above backhoe work or would it be to much? Is 470lbs in a loader enough to make it worth while. We want to do lots of small landscaping projects over the years and would like to get the right tractor the first time. Money is an issue, with the good financing rates could afford approx. 20,000 CDN. A local dealer says I should go with a MF1428V or MF1429, without really knowing what I need, another says he sells lots of the GC2300 / 2310's. Any help would be great.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
