Hi, Richard:
We have about 80 acres -- 10 is pasture and the rest wooded. We have a market garden over about 3 acres and are starting free-range chickens this year. We bought a BCS 722 when we first started out about 5 years ago, and while we love it, we wish we had bought a bigger tractor first because of other farm uses. For example, it takes me a couple of days to till my various garden sections; with a tractor and plow attachment, that task would take less than an hour. You can drag logs out of the woods alot easier with a larger tractor, and if you cut up firewood in the woods, you can load the bucket on a larger tractor to haul it back to the house. If you are time strapped by also having an off-farm job, I think I'd get the larger tractor. Because I don't have a larger tractor, I'm sorry that I can't answer your other questions.
