Bought a small piece of land that I'll need to do some minor grading, maintain a gravel driveway, occasional tilling and who knows what else. Bought the smallest tractor I felt comfortable buying, and the biggest one I could afford/justify buying. I've been playing around at my house with it learning the features and controls. Once the soil dries a bit we will haul it over to the land to experiment. Does anyone have any knowledge they could pass along, regarding implement brands? I am shocked how expensive those things are even when they are rust buckets and a few decades old. Planning to start out with a land plane for the driveway and possibly a box blade so I can make the wife and kids some walking trails in the woods.

I'm far from an expert, but do live on a working farm....I wouldn't get too hung up on brand. More important is matching the implement to what your tractor can handle. Don't necessarily dismiss used equipment either just ensure it's in good working order.
I ordered a Titan trailer hitch so I can use the tractor to move my gooseneck and I’ve been looking at marketplace for a used land plane. I think before long I’ll need to learn to weld so that is on the list of things to learn.
 
This is actually one of my highest priority items. Been searching for the right set since I picked up the tractor.

I've only had the bush hog and tiller.

Been thinking about the pallet forks though so far not a big need.

The Land plane seems nice but not sure its effect on gravel driveways.
