Newcomer needs help! The most I've run up til now is a 10hp snow blower. We're buying a house on 8 acres in Orange Cty, NY. The seller has a MF 1205, series 2962, with 1100 hrs on it. He wants $6000. 4wd, 3cyl diesel, 21hp@2350, PTO=17hp@587. 3spd x 4 settings = 12 speed? Front loader "needs upper piston repack, lower pistons were done". Rear 6' blade, 6' rake. NO mower/brush hog.Critical need is snow plowing 300' paved steep twisty driveway (downhill from house). Other uses: mowing 1-1.5 acre flat lawn , running log splitter, hauling wood+mulch, minor landscaping.I know I couldn't touch a new compact tractor for that price ($6000). Would a large garden tractor with a 2-stage snow blower be able to do most of this kind of work. ..............Thanks, Rich S.

Rich,Although I'm not familiar with that exact model of Massey, unless the tractor is in sad condition, you cant go wrong. I can tell you that if you have a loader and rear blade for this unit, You will be finished with the driveway by the time you make 1 pass with a snowblower. Also, you will find a million uses for this tractor, as I have found for my 770 John Deere. Keep in mind, some of these uses will involve helping your neighbors, or friends with chores at their house!! Good luck with the desision PS- Once you have a 4 wheel drive tractor, you'll never go back to a garden tractor!! ....
