I don’t tow enough 75% of the time to need a 3/4-1 ton, but those times I do, I may have 7k # of tractor and bucket, then add bush hog, other implements,....whatever, and sometimes it’s not far, but other times I may be going 6-10 hours.
Rent. It's so much cheaper and you can get exactly what you need for those occasional jobs. Owning the excess capacity is a waste of money, but tons of people do it for their ego and they pay.
