Tractor Or UTV - Buy THIS First For Your Farm or Homestead!

You've just purchased your first piece of property for a farm or homestead and now you need some equipment to care for the property, do chores, move around on the land and a host of other things.

Tractor or UTV? Which one should you buy first to help get all this work done?

Today we are talking about the pros and cons of each piece of equipment and I'll share what I think you should buy first.

We bought a a tractor first and we weren’t gonna get side by side but our cousin let us borrow hers and we loved it so much that we bought our own

We brought the tractor first and then the 4x4 with a dump bed . We also put a werch on the front of the 4x4 with a four-wheel drive as well. The tractor has a backhoe attachment as well. It's really nice to have it to dig deep wholes!!

I owned a Kaw-610, and after a year, I traded it in on a Kawasaki 4010, and it is a serious workhorse on my acreage.

My wife bought me a side by side and I am so thankful she did, I could not make it without it.

[jellyneckrules]

I have both and wouldn't give up either for anything.they both have there jobs and make live some much easier for everyone here .

Tractor with fel for sure hands down so much more you can do with a tractor tons of attachments

[yaboi]

I’d say tractor because if I you need to haul something heavy, you could just put it in the bucket

I bought the tractor first (rk55 cab). Couldn't justify the price tag on a side by side when I can buy a decent shape 4x4 Toyota for less $$. Especially when a decently kitted out SxS is $20k

My wife and I just retired and bought a farm. There is no rush for us to build a productive farm quickly but that is our long term (next 24 months) goal. We are putting in a small garden for our own use with a self propelled tiller. I have limited mobility issues right now, so we went with the side by side. So our situation is a bit different, otherwise would have bought a sub compact tractor for our 10 acre farm. Thanks for the video.

I bought my side by side first because it was cheaper can't live without it most useful tool I have but can't wait to get my tractor this winter.

Used old farm tractors like MF 135'd and IH B250s are so affordable and easy to work on I don't know why anyone would buy new.

We only have a tractor. My only regret is not getting a bigger 1, we use our little kubota for a lot but don’t have a lot of attachments. My husband says I need a side by side but I’m cheap and don’t mind walking and I have a gorilla cart that I pull a bunch of different things in.

Planning on buying the tractor first. Need a front end loader, forks, stump bucket, and stump grinder, wood chipper, . . . Want a grapple!

[ourwayfarm]

We use the heck out of our kubota tractor. Loader, arm, mowing deck, pallet forks, post digger, the roll bar has been modified to hold spools of wires. The 4whlr is nice for smaller spaces but really has only a winch use for light jobs. The tractor is much more versatile for us.

I lived on 165 timbered acres up until a few years ago. I bought a tractor first and didn't get a UTV until 8 years later. A brush hog mower (keep trails open) and a front end loader were critical. I could have likely gotten by without the UTV but got one for hunting and it was very helpful around the place.

[timberray]

If your buying land just for hunting you can get by with a ATV or SXS with a trailer, I you plan on developing your property you absolutely need a tractor with attachments.

[robscott]

We started with a 35 hp JD tractor, later added a Honda Rancher quad and a few years ago got a 4 seat side by side. Like you said, the tractor does a lot of heavy lifting, dragging, digging chores. The side by side gets used multiple times every day for general getting around. Quad is mostly used now for towing a tank sprayer and a drag for the round pen. 👍🏻👍🏻

[travismeccariello]

Went with a tractor first but side by side is next on my list.

[crazycritterlady]

I mentioned it on last video that I'd get a tractor first. Because with all the new attachments you can get for it. Much love from So.Cal.💟

[CarlosGunX]

I started with a used Honda Recon and a 6' by 8' trailer.
