To my thinking, keeping the grass down on 25 acres would probably requires a tractor and mower (brush hog) - that's my justification for one anyway 
)) Better than paying someone $40/hr. for rest of my life. Even though we also have cattle on our property, they are selective in what they eat. The last time I had an area cut, they seemed to like that area even moreso.
Keep tabs on the classified in Hilo Tribune, I've seen tractors listed from time to time. There are also several dealers on the east side. I'm pretty "ignorant"about tractors, but I did find an excellent website where you can ask and learn: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/
They have a very good search feature and tons of archived info, so it?s a good idea to search and read before asking.
As for bulldozer work, I can highly reccomend George Hirowatari - cell: 987-3497. Not sure what areas he works, but I think pretty much the east side.
