My experience has been you can get used big tractors cheaper than the small ones.
One problem with a big is moving it around.
If you had a old JD4020 or IH 1426 and a 16 ft disc you would be in heaven!! both were around 100 hp but both will take a significant trailer and truck to pull around.
One of the most useful and overlooked implements for planting seed is a cult-packer. Harrow the ground good--run the cultipacker, broadcast or preferably drill the seed and run the cultipacker again for a perfect seed bed and stand.

We have 1000 acres and plant 25 acres of food plots with a 60hp 4x4 Kubota and a 60 hp 4x4 john Deere. We use a 6'disk first with the JD and follow with a 6' tiller on the Kubota. The Kubota has a hydrstat transmission while the the JD is a normal shift. The Kubota is a beast compared to the JD it puts out 20 more Hp to the PTo than the JD. We have plenty of hills and ravines on our property and have no trouble with either tractor going through them. We use 6' bush hogs on both of them when we are cutting and can cut all the trails and food plots in a day with both tractors. I highly recommend the Kubota over the JD!

agree completely...this is my favorite tractor ever sold. I think they are actually worth more now than they were when they were new, as they are the perfect size tractor for doing shite like opening water drains, grading roads, pushing up brush piles, etc. every farm has one just like that....
