I need a reasonably tidy manouverable, light 2wd classic for around 4k to do the following jobs.
Flail topping small paddocks/ roadside.
Log splitter.
Pushing boats in and out of storage with ball on front.
Go round wintering sheep 3 x a week in winter.
Currently use MF 135 for the first 3 and gator for sheep but its not man enough for some of the bigger boats and the gator seems to be money standing for one job 3 x a week half the year.
I'm thinking JD 2040, IH 585XL (always hated the L cab..) MF 565 or similar, my only worry is it gets wet here in winter and dont want to get constantly stuck with 2wd and make a mess.
Any suggestions? Or poss tractor plus cheap quad for the sheep checking..
