The lift on your link is pretty sweet for inside lifting and moving but do not think you'll find any equipment that will multitask inside and outside. You're not going to push that lift around the yard unless it had big wheels all around. I've never seen something that will do what you're asking for, and if there was something I'd buy it.

While it would not work for most of what you need, I find that my JD Lawn Tractor and trailer are indispensable for work around the yard for do the re occurring jobs you listed. I use my trailer to move fire wood, plant trimmings, fertilizer, grass seed, dirt, stones, etc. I also use it to move tools; saws, shovels, etc. to the work site in my yard. It keeps the tools together, and I don't loose them.

My trailer is a dump trailer and fairly low to the ground. I have gotten some pretty large stones into the trailer by backing the trailer up to the stone then flipping it on to the bed, and working it into the trailer to lower the bed in to position. Unloading, the procedure is reversed.

The trailer in high enough that I can work heavy loads from the back of my van into the trailer, some time it takes a couple of 2X to slide the load down into the trailer.

My trailer is rated at about 700 pounds but there are several sizes.

Tractor with a boom pole for outside. And a dump trailer, if you are really going to want to haul rocks frequently. Otherwise, pay for that to be done. Neighbor help for inside. Or pay for that to be done as well. Paid labor will be cheaper than buying a bunch of stuff that gets used seldomly and needs room to be stored.

Thanks Everyone!

A couple of clarifications:

(1) I probably won’t be hauling large rocks. I’m looking at thick flagstone stepping stones, 4x4 fence posts (or possibly 6x6 if I can handle the weight) x 6 feet, gravel and sand. Maybe concrete if the sand/gravel mix does not work for the fence posts. There are some logs (probably pine) that I would like to eventually move and repurpose. (Also looking at the new 20” ryobi chainsaw for that when ready.) I have a convertible dolly/hand truck with 2 pneumatic wheels and the land is pretty flat - just the occasional depression and tree roots. It worked well for moving in.

(2) I’m finding it hard to get people to come out here and do hard labor outside or small jobs inside. The people I do find are specialized. I’m in a rural area.

The lawn tractor mower with a trailer would do all of those; plus you can use it to cut your grass. I have a John Deere E130.

You did not say what size yard you have, but it should be consider in working out solutions. If you have a third of an acre a lawn tractor and trailer would be a little over kill. you have a half acre or more, the the tractor trailer becomes viable. I have nearly a half acre of grass on a 3/4 acre lot.

To manage the trees, plant trimming, etc. I have an electric chain saw with sufficient cord to cover the lot. I use the chain saw maybe 2 or 3 times per year. There is no oil to mix into the gas, and once plugged in it starts by squeezing the trigger. It is a 14" and I have used it to take down trees that are a little over 14" in diameter. For yard work much more convenient.

Thank you krnuttle. The lot is wooded and wide, about 2 acres. Trees fall down periodically in the wooded area. The cleared area is currently about half an acre and mostly dirt with a gravel driveway and lots of trees. There is some grass around the house but not much.

A relative gave me a smaller corded chainsaw, so I can play with that and see how it goes.

That is too much lot for 1 person to keep up. And it gets old very fast to never have a break from it. Consider letting some revert to nature. And maybe finding a good landscape company for the majority.

Hi Louie, the cleared area is not so bad when I can work on it everyday. It’s only about 1/2 acre including the house. Most of the lot is a forest - not dense. It’s going to stay that way. All the neighbors (that I can’t see) love the privacy of being surrounded by forest.

I do want to clear a large area by the house and fence it for dogs to run. That will be most of the yard work. I might outsource that, but it’s expensive and there may be a lot of repair/replacement in the future, so I’ll probably try to start it myself.

The debris really needs to be cleaned DAILY. But nobody seems to care because we are all surrounded by forest. No neighbors can see my property from their house, and no one looks at it from the country road. (It is a long way from the road and hidden a bit by trees.) So I can skip a day or two.

Mowing the grass is a breeze. There is not much grass except around the house. Most of the yard in front of the house is dirt. It looks fine when cleared, like a walk through a nature preserve.

The house is reminiscent of a cabin in the woods - it’s not fancy, but it’s a regular house (no logs). It’s not majestic or architecturally eye-catching. It doesn’t need a pristine yard.

I’m still working on the inital cleanup. Once that’s done, it will just be nice morning outings with a dog to pick up debris and do other yard maintenance.

When everything else is done on the house, I want to make trails through the woods for dog walks. There is really not much pressure to get any of these projects done in hurry. It’s my job now to get this property in shape. I have lots of time.

These are NOT photos of my property. They are inspiration photos to give you an idea of the environment. My house is not this fancy. (I’m not ready to post pics of the house yet.)

Inspiration photos

With 5 acres I wanted something to do all the jobs quick and versatile so I bought a used 1997 T5C Terrimite in 2002 for $6K, and has been worth it's weight in gold since. This is a pic of what I have but not the one I have.

I use it almost weekly to make quick work of anything needing done and the best purchase I've ever made. You should really think about investing in a small tractor with at least a loader to get things done quick and get more things done. I have forks to move things and when A huge tree dies or goes down my GAS powered Stihl chainsaw makes quick work of it and the terrimite hauls the brush and up to 1500 lb logs away fast.

I also bought a 60 in Commercial/residential Toro Zero turn to cut grass, and a used 2001 L3010 Kubota 4wd tractor to plow, cultivate and snow removal.

The point I'm trying to make here isn't to boast but to buy suggest you buy the right equipment that will any job having acreage in a fast and efficient manor. Don't let the cost of these kinds of equipment be a factor, and John Deere always has Zero percent financing promotions running. These kinds of equipment hold there value every well, and for example I can sell the terrimite today for what I paid for it 21 years ago. The Kobota will fetch twice what I paid for it, but I'm not ready to sell it, the Toro is cutting and running well after 20 yrs.

Try getting those resale values with a snowmobile, ATV or motorcycle after 20 years, but people buy them, rarely use them, and than buy the cheapest riding lawnmower on the market. It takes them twice as long or more to cut the grass and they start falling apart in 5 years. The right equipment will have MUCH better resale value, do more jobs and save you money and time. My Kubota tractor engine should exceed 8000 run hours, trying getting that from low end riding mower with engine life span in the 100's of hours with 1000 hours to 2000 for the better engines.

And new is not always better, my 1980's John deere 265 with the bullet proof cast iron Kawasaki engine is 10X's better then all the cheap riders on the market. So also think about used equipment but research what you're buying and if it's good. I laughed when you said Ryobi electric chain saw, buy a stihl gas but if you want a battery they make the best on the market. Spend the money now our your're going to need to spend it again, and again.

Get a real tractor with a front end loader, finish mower, and a PTO for all kinds of attachments like a chipper, or tiller. The money you spend on mechanical helpers will be paid back 100 fold on saved wear and tear to your body. Would you like to see the hospital bill for the back surgery that I underwent before I got smart enough to not work myself to death in the yard?

Oh, and do diesel, and get busy learning how to keep it up. Diesels are easier for a lot of things.

Thanks for the advice Strawberry. So sorry to hear about your back. I hope you’re feeling better!

I noted that you were considering trails through the wood lands areas of your lot. Trails are necessary and should be put in as soon as possible.

First they divide the woodlands into sections. With sections you can target one section at a time. Working on one section is less intimidating than considering the wood lot as the work area. Having established trials makes access to all of areas of the wood lands easier. This makes it easier to move equipment into the work area.

They provide a place to take walks and enjoy the area. They also tend to concentrate the wildlife, because the wild live also likes to take walks through areas that are unobstructed. Trail cameras bring a lot of enjoyment to your woodland experience. We have two, and enjoy seeing Deer, Fawns, foxes, racoon, opossums, rabbits squirells, etc. You can also see birds. We have seen Pilleated Woodpeckers and vultures. You will never forget the first time you see vultures necking.

Trails are not hard to establish. First go through the area an make sure there are no major obstructions, old stumps, big branches, etc. With the first pass, mow at the highest setting of you mower. Subsequent passes and maintenance can be done at lower settings. Routinely I mow my paths a 3". I try to keep the trails about 60" wide as this allows my 54" mower deck to pass through easily
