Most Useful Implement For Your Tractor

Where you are doing a mix of logging and ag, I would suggest a front end hydraulic grapple rake. Maybe this is what some others meant by their front end loaders... a friend of mine is developing a 70 acres horse farm from woodland and grown up fields and says it is the one implement he couldn't do without... for straight ag work, I would imagine a front end bucket would be indispensible.

Hands down ... snowblower. When handling 1500 lb bales of hay with the front end loader the rear mounted snowblower provides ballast for traction. It also comes in handy when having to move bales through 4 foot high drifts.

The front end loader is going to be the most use to you, I think. But the one that would save you the most money would be a backhoe attachment. Do a few waterlines and you'll find that out. Also, if you have the backhoe you'll find all sorts of places where you'd like to use it. For example, get one water line in and two months later be thinking, "Darn, I wish I made another line in the other side of the building when I had the backhoe here". If you have it yourself, you can rework the line if you feel like it withour worrying about another bill.
