Hi found this forum and have enjoyed the camraderie shared. I am a Florida flat-lander who just purchased a 25 acre ranch/farm? near hickory,N.C.. Approximately 18 acres are/were pasture with rest wooded.The property has significant slope and all my research about mowing slope tells me I should sell the property and buy something flat. Probably should have researched first! I am going to need a tractor sooner than later and believe I'll need a FEL and bush hogger to turn thicket back to pasture. Don't plan on any planting/farming and wife skittish around horses so plans are to let 3 grandsons run around on it.
Question is: What type tractor can handle the slopes, minimum HP needed? attachments? 2WD or 4WD?
i found a New Holland 6640 but haven't a clue if it would be too much /too little or not appropriate for handling slope. As you can tell, the slope has me concerned.
Thanks, for any and all responses
