Scrapper tractor, atv or rtv

[dairyrow]

Been wanting an ATV to go fencing with a rappa fencing machine. Looked at the price new and secondhand. Rtvs look horrendous money for what they are. Then thought why not a small 40 HP tractor. Which could scrap out in winter and even maybe bed down with a dispenser. Then put a link box maybe with an electric motor to wind in electric fences on reels.

Is this a crazy idea?

No this is what I had done, it's 4x4 65hp but use it on the rake most of the summer.

Tractor covered in cow muck will be less pikey attractive, too.

Small old tractor will not deprecate like a quad or truck find a tidy mf 135 or ford 4000

My quad is currently a Massey 35. Its the only piece of equipment to actually appreciate in value Its not quite as nippy or light as a quad but we scrape out and do all sorts with it for 12 months a year. Clocks up 600+ hours a year.
