[Farmall] OT: Compact tractor needs

[Mark]

Sure. I live on 21 acres at the end of a dead end road. About 12 of that is 
woods, the rest pasture and yard. Common tasks are all over the board. 
Anything from mowing pasture to moving snow, to light excavation, to 
collecting maple sap in the woods, getting fire wood, etc. Those are the 
ones I can think of right off.
