In this video we've been asked by Homestead How (Kerry and Jen) for some guidance on what single machine would be their best investment for their Modern Homesteading Wisconsin farm. They are hoping to stay in a budget of $20,000. Their primary uses would be fixing, repairing and maintaining their long gravel driveway and other gravel areas on the farm, so they would need to be able to move gravel and do a lot of gravel driveway grading. Next they would like for it to be able to handle their firewood supply for heating their homestead. Lifting heavy logs, hauling logs out of the woods and handling cut firewood, as well as feeding a big firewood cutting machine. And their third major objective is to do some digging and general dirt work. They have found some buried items on their farm and would like to be able to dig, and do some dirt grading, fixing water runoff and fixing water erosion problems and more. Now, I have also added a few things in this video that they had not thought of just yet, but I believe they will have certain needs for in the future as far as a new machine goes. So... Will it be a Compact tractor? a CTL? (Compact track loader), Skid steer, MTL, Back hoe, or Mini Excavator? Each of the machines have strengths and weakness' so lets take a much closer look.
