We will be building a Metal home/barndominium type. Plan on having some livestock at some point and definitely getting acreage. No commercial crop though just for our selfs and farmers marketsI noticed from your other post you haven't yet decided where you're moving to. The answer to which piece of equipment is best lies in the property it's self. Are you building a home? How much land and the purpose? A small garden, acreage for crops or livestock?
I'd spend time just familiarizing myself with each piece of equipment. The land will determine which is best.
I have seen the Skidsteer in contruction & it is very versatile, but the combo frontloader & Backhoe is best for my needs.Skidsteer. X10
I had both. The skidsteer is by far the better tool. Tractor with a bucket was a mistake, almost useless for me.
I was just looking at that model. Read somewhere doing a search to get a tractor that’s between 40-50hp. The other use I would want it for is to help take out stumps if I get a wooded lot.Tractor, Model L4701,Front loader/ Grill Guard LA765, Backhoe BH92,
Rotary Cutter RCR1872, 74" LT Duty Rota tiller, 72" Ligth Duty Box blade.
But that just what I would do or did.
I have a post hole auger, hay baler, hay rake,Sickle Bar Mower, turn plow & disk harrow.

I cut ten acres of pine timber from our 19 acres & one of the main reasonI was just looking at that model. Read somewhere doing a search to get a tractor that’s between 40-50hp. The other use I would want it for is to help take out stumps if I get a wooded lot.
This was the case for us. Hubs has a Mahindra with many attachments and he uses it all the time. The tractor has a bucket, forks, or grapple for the front.....and on the rear he can put his brush hog, snow blower, back blade, discs, tiller, landscape rake, and of coarse can pull various trailers. As someone else mentioned, it is also a lot easier on the lawn, field, or roads than a skid steer would be. I think if he ever had to give up one piece of equipment, the tractor would likely be the last one he would part with.I too vote for a tractor. Not as fast as a skidsteer but much more versatile.
