Y'all are the biggest pack of John Deere homers I have ever come across don't matter what piece of equipment is discussed, tractor, dozer, UTV.
That being said.... if this guy wants to own 1 piece of equipment he needs a JD 555 loader 4:1 bucket with detachable backhoe and ripper. DONE.
Have any of you ever seen a loader or dozer with a backhoe attachment? Based on the replies I would say the answer to that is most of y'all don't even know that exists.
Rent the dozer, build the roads and pond and tell them to come get it... You won't need it again after that you can maintain everything you used it for with farm tractor as long as you did it correctly.
Here is what a dozer will do and it will get it done eventually:
When you are ready to stop playing around (and I realize this is a little bit bigger machine but not a whole lot) first you do this...
Then you do this...... you can't carry material with a dozer guys....
And then you get a backhoe attachment for it and you can do all the digging you ever wanted as well so there is no need for a track hoe.
