soon to be owning a few acres and horses- what tractors/atvs etc to buy? or not to?

6 acres of grass, you'll find, will soon turn into 6 acres of dirt with 4 horses on it.

I strongly suggest investing in a reliable ATV. We've had luck with Honda. You can buy a metal harrow that will simply attach to the back rack of your ATV. For manure we use a bobcat, but you can buy a hydraulic scoop for the front of your truck, and it almost works as good. It's also used for snow-plowing (the shovel tends to work better for this). For lawn care we use a ride-on lawn mower. However, we also have sheep that we set out now and again-- think about it.

I have 6 acres and here's what I have: For lawn mowing, I have an ancient John Deere riding mower. I also have a dump cart and spreader for this tractor. For the pasture, and for snow plowing, I have a Kubota L2350, which is a compact diesel tractor - sort of medium sized. It has a bucket, which comes in handy for the manure pile, and for deep snow, and it's got bush hog and snow plow attachments for the rear.

go to your local tractor shop and talk to them about what you need.

an atv can be nice, but you can only do so much with it.

if you have the money, get a small tractor. that'd better than an atv.

tractors come with accessories. so do atvs.

you can get one or the other. tractors of course will be more...but you can also get a used one at an auction.

a bobcat isn't something I'd recommend.

#10 Then #s a million, 7, 8, 9,sixteen, 18, 20 (no cats or deranged goat although), 33 remarkable interest MR EDIT: night, I agree. there is something some toddler being on a horse which could build their self belief & self image.

It's really difficult to name brand, much better if you try to visit your nearest hardware store and look for the item that you think will work and you are comfortable using it.
