Hi everyone,
  I am looking for information on the tractor features I should look for when I purchase ours for the farm. We are going to be ally cropping about 5 acres and I want to get a tractor that will beat serve my purposes. I will be building swales, clearing underbrush, light logging, pulling a 3 tine subsoiler (keyline plow) and moving materials like mulch, compost, stone and fire wood. I would like to be able to tow a 1/4 ton trailer also.
I would like a tractor capable of using both a front end loader and a small backhoe in addition to three point PTO implements.
What horsepower, brands, models and other specs should I look at. Our soil is sandy and the land is flat.
Thanks for the help.

We've had ours for 3 years now and it was two years old when we bought it. We average 20-30 lemons a year off of it. Try to keep it pruned like a ball, it encourages small branch and flower production. I'd trim the two main branches back to maybe a foot from the wye. You can also try using a mirror to reflect more sunlight & heat on to it.
