Using a tractor to build trails
I’m on 40 acres and borrowed a friend’s kubota with bucket and blade to finish what would have taken me months. A decent 45hp plus 4×4 tractor with a loader and bucket will set you back from mid to high $20k new. I can get a Kanga for around $200/day (and I know how to use one) and a Bobcat for $320.
You will always find jobs for a tractor once you have one! Make sure you get a 4in1 bucket and not just a basic bucket. Avoid the little tractors with backhoe attachments. They are not worth the effort. Don’t listen to Dales advice. Live on the edge. A full wet round bale on the rear spikes, uphill, through a gate in the mud on two wheels is ludicrous.
