Shall I buy a tractor or a Honda Rancher Quad?
Question:We just bought some landand will need a vehicle to help with common chores - as well as develop the land. I was planning on getting the Honda Rancher with attachments, but maybe a tractor is a better purchase... Of course the Honda would be a blast when the work gloves come off. Any input is greatly appreciated!
Answers:
I would say go with the tractor. Their built to handle the needs better. Sure you can get different attachments for the ATV but it's not going to do the job as effectively as a tractor. ATV's don't have PTO's, hydraulics and the gear ratio's of a tractor.
You don't mention what your chores are going to be. But if your looking at plowing, tilling, loading, etc the tractor is the way to go. If your planning on just hauling a trailer around or blasting around your property the Rancher would work good for you.
One thing I wish I had for my property is a little skid steer loader. You might want to take a look at them to see if they would work better for you too.
you don't say how much land, or if it is timbered or not, what are you going to be doing?? building fences, truck farming, growing fruit or nut trees.. come on,, how can anyone help you if you don't give any info! I have twenty acres and use a tractor, the wife has a John Deere 'gator' to do yard work and flowers,,,
