My 2501 with a 60 snowblower on back will blow 2 ft deep snow with out choking and it has no problem with thick grass/weeds and the 5 ft brush hog or pulling a JD 40 ground driven manure spreader.. Ralphie has the right idea. Get a tractor that will do almost all you need, but share crop the hay and rent a skid loader for the heavy work.The only thing I can't do is pick a 3x3 off the top of a semi load that my buddy can pick two of them off with his skid loader.
