-Have Front blade for snow and also front snowblower which is pain to put on and only install if we get heavy snow (heavy with the WH=>5" :-)) Blade is better than blower if snow slushy or light fall less than 5". Otherwise have to use blower. In either case The machine is too small for the grade and loses traction with chains and only 2wd no limited slip. I am looking to use Compact with loader and rear blade as replacement.
Objectives for New Tractor:
-Mow lawn in half the time
-easily clear 1/4 mile drive of snow all at once rather have to go out for each 3" increment
-Use loader for stone dust, loose dirt movement, mulch, other landscaping chores
-Bottom line 70%mowing, 20%loader, 10%snow
What I'm looking at:
-Kubota B2710, L3010
-Boomer TC21, TC 29
Mower:
-Landpride Tunnel 2560 60" 3PH
Concerns:
-None of my property is flat, about 6%+ grade everywhere, the rear mowers weigh about 550# so is heavier tractor better, you know light tractor with heavy implement would be tail wagging the dog. So would the TC29 or 3010 be better, than the lighter units?
-on this size property would a 3Pt mower be a pain versus a belly? If I go with a Belly how can one man push a 550# mower under it even though the wheels rotate it still weighs a ton?
-If I buy the tc29 or l3010 size Tractor, when I mow I go about 200 feet to 300 feet in each row most of the time, but sometimes only 100 feet (its not perfectly square). What is better 3pt or belly for these dimensions? Am I going too big.
-When I looked at the Boomers the Turf tires on the tc21 had alot less bite than the Turfs on the much larger Tc29, would the more aggresive turf tires on the tc29 make it unnecssary to buy the R4's for snow removal needs?
-Which Tractor would be the best for the 1/4 paved drive snow removal?
Sorry about rambling on with 10 questions all at once, but that's what I'm thinking about. Any help appreciated. Really love this board, Thnaks.
