The only tractor I have is an 8n Ford. I just use it for bush hogging and blading the lane. Had it for 20 years with no repairs. I bought a used Terramite mini backhoe about 8 years ago from a rental place when they bought new ones. Got it for 4K and use the heck out of it. The front bucket saves me lots of lifting and is great for pulling fence posts. The weight of the backhoe gives great traction and digs a prettily impressive hole.
