I have already deleted your message about all of the stuff you did with the tractor. Looking at the pic now I see it is a big Front end loader. I know you do raised beds for gardening, but could you have used a big tractor like that for plowing, bushhogging, etc? Or is it just too big.........
Magnolia is a backhoe with a front loader bucket.
Yes, the backhoe can be removed and the unit used for typical tractor jobs like plowing and brushhogging, but it would be a lot of work to remove and reinstall the backhoe.
Don bought a fine Ford 3000 tractor and brushhog that does an excellent job.
I see no use of plowing at Heartwood but if I did our closest neighbor has a little Ford and single-bottom plow. He also has an old John Deere with a belly mower. So, with Don doing brushhogging, Jeff doing belly-mowing, and me doing finish mowing/grass collection with the riding mower, we have grass, shrubs and tree sprouts well under control. None of us raise large animals, so hay is not part of our program.
