There is another several angles you may not be considering. Most 2 wheel tractors have long warranties. The one I have has only needed a new throttle cable and runs like a champ. If you eventually get larger, you can sell the two wheel off or keep it.
Where we are today I agree that the 2-wheel tractors would be great,
but new they are almost as expensive as a 50's Ford, for example, and
hard to find used.And we are considering renting a neighboring 2-3
acres, so having a tractor that could expand with us would be nice.
In trying to achieve max profit a 4 wheel tractor means a lot of unusable space to turn around, etc. With a 2 wheel you make more money on an acre.
Don't buy a 4 wheel tractor until you do have a lease on the neighboring property. I have seen these ideas and dreams fall apart too many times on leasing. Overbuying can really set you back.
