I like Curt's idea, probably far less $ over time, but you will have lost the ability to use the equipment immediately and will have to wait or schedule the work.
Maybe the compromise would be getting a purpose-built thing to do the most common tasks (probably move / tow vehicles around the ranch) and then rent the equipment to do the other things that can be scheduled (bush-hog, trench digging, grading, etc). Sounds to me like a Unimog that you can use to tow / pull / push would be the ticket? Find a rusty beat up example with no attachments but sound engine / trans / brakes? ------------- Max Charleston SC On Sun, Feb 18, 2018 at 10:29 PM, Kaleb C.
