Buying land and building! Need attachments

Finally, I can justify having a Scut. My 1025r hasn’t been sweated yet. That being said, we are buying 4 acres of farm flat land and building our dream house. What attachments do I need and want! I already know a 260B because of all my landscaping needs.

I am thinking a post hole attachment for the needed fence. That being said, how do these tractors do handling it? It’s clay but no roots or rocks.

Debating if my 60D is sufficient or if a bush hog is waned for the larger open field mows until I really have it landscaped.

Go! Budget isn’t unlimited but it’s realistic. CFO already approved. Realistic things please.

I guess I don’t understand this. How can you buy implements without knowing your actual needs?

Now once you are there and see a need - then buy that implement.
This - storing implements that you don't use is expensive (if you keep them covered) and takes up a lot of space. Get what you need for the task at hand (I'd take the approved CFO money and put it in a bucket for those projects for when they're needed.) Things like a PHD, if you need it for one task really, rent it from CL... i.e. buy a used one, use it, and sell it for about what you paid (or more if you get a good deal).

Thinking outloud, after just spending more than I would like to on suitcase weights, that's something I wish I had rolled in to the 0% loan. I plan to buy the same amount (2-42s, 2-70's) again after the bank recovers, but if it had been rolled in to the loan I'd have 8-70s and 4-42s. Another positive is there's usually further discounts on attachments saving some more money when bought with the tractor. Adding an extra ~16.67/mo (5yr @ 0%) for 728lbs of flexible ballast is totally worth it. Further thinking outloud- paying for suitcase weight ballast outright is painful, considering how expensive it is for what it is. When rolled in to a 0% loan is so much more palatable cause you don't see the line items for every payment.

Thankfully I scored 10, 42lbs weight last fall for $200. Brand new. So I have that covered.
