Looking for some ideas on maintaining a beach. I've got about 200 yards by 60 ft. of beachfront. It became more grass than beach over the years before I got it. There's a layer of sand over clay with grass growing almost everywhere, some places sparsely and some quite thick. Would like to make it back into beach. Am willing to bring in sand but am not sure how to prep what's there. Tilling? Discing? I think I should try to turn it over first (not sure how) and then till the heck out of it before I bring in the sand. Anybody got any other ideas?

I've never owned a tractor before. I just bought 97 acres, mostly wooded, 15 acres clear, some beachfront. I will be needing to mow 10 acres of lawn under big oak trees, 5 acres of brush and field, maintain the beach (discing it, raking it, moving some sand around), cut trails through 50 year old wild roses and brush, maintain 1/2 mile gravel road, snow removal. Not too much backhoe or frontloader work, but definitely some, particularly maintaining the lakefront. I'm guessing that I can remocve some of the purple loosestrife growing along the shore with a backhoe but I'm not sure.I am looking at the TC29D and the Kubota B2710 or B2910. Are they enough tractor? too much? too little? There are features of both that I like but I'm looking for some feedback. Any thoughts?
