Hi Guys and Gals,
New to the forum so quick intro for anyone interested.
I have 50 acres in Derbyshire, rolling rather than hilly.
Currently I'm using a 4911 with Quicke 2030 loader. Its a super little tractor for mucking out sheds, with it's tight turning circle. I have also been using it for bringing in and stacking round bale hay and straw, which it does easily now I have fixed the hydraulics and fitted power steering. Thanks to the forum.
I have a 990DB which I use for mowing/muck spreading, anything which needs a bit more grunt than the 4911.
Question
This coming season I am going to make about 150 bales of silage and I need a tractor with FEL capable of stacking/loading these.
I was thinking maybe 5945/6945.
But then which is stronger, the 2 or 4 wheel drive axle?
I have a budget of about 3,500 pounds plus whatever I can get for the 990, so maybe 5000.
I don't need a lot of horse power for what I do, just more size/ strength I think!?.
Your help very much appreciated on this.
Thanks
Matt
