What tractor hp is sufficient to maintain a hunting property?

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a 5100E, it has 100hp and that will be upgrading from 32hp with my 4300. It's been long overdue and I'm just happy I'm not getting anything less than 75hp

So, to answer your question, it depends on what you want to do with it, but always get more than 60hp if you are doing camp stuff, imo

4wd 50hp kubota with loader. It does everything I need from clipping, disking , and keeping up the place in general. The loader comes in handy for all kinds of stuff.

50 hp is plenty for that size club. It can handle up to an 7-8 ft bush hog, 6-7 ' disc harrow, front end loader to do the heavy lifting and moving material but small enough to trailer around behind a 1/2 ton truck. Of course everyone WANTS bigger but rarely do they NEED bigger.

50hp is PLENTY for camp work and will be overkill 95% of the time.

I used to kick all kinds of arse at the farm on a 42 horse 4x4 John Deere with a loader. It was my go-to for everything except the batwing bushhog and hay equipment, and you won't be doing that on your deer lease.

I would get whatever the smallest utility tractor JD is making right now. I wouldn't want a compact. I know they make the same power, but I like the ground clearance and weight of the normal sized tractors.

I would recommend a larger tractor. We have 1100 acres and did it for several years with a MF 245. We plant about 45 acres of corn\soybeans in spring and then another 25 acres of wheat, AWP, and oats in the fall.

It takes a LONG time to do that much with that little size tractor. We added an International 986 (105hp) 3 years ago. It is night and day. We have a 24' batwing disk, and a 15' cutter, We bought all three from a lady whose farmer husband had died. There are 4 people in our club and we setup a little LLP and everyone put in 25% of the purchase price. If someone wants to get out the remaining members have the option to either buy his portion or they must approve the new member who buys that portion from the seller.

Worked out great for us. The 4 of us planted the green fields this past weekend. I got there Friday morning and had almost all the fields broken up by supper time. The other guys came in Friday night and we spread the seed\fertilizer and cultipacked. We left after lunch on Sunday. That would have taken at least 3 weekends with just the little tractor. Another advantage is the IH986 has an enclosed cab, it has AC and I no longer worry about disking up some yellow jackets.

Also best advice is to have extra filter replacements on hand. We change oil and check hydraulic fluid every spring. Keep batteries in good shape. With proper maintenance you can keep breakdowns to a minimum.
