Wanted on at my previous place, but I could never justify the need so I opted for a zero-turn riding mower to cut the 1-1/2 acres. The new place has 2-1/2 acres of orchard and landscape lawn, plus another 1-1/2 acres down below along the river. The riding mower can handle the upper orchard and lawn, but the lower yard isn't accessible nor of the finesse that it needs, so tractor justification finally achieved
Who else here is working a large homestead sized tractor, and what you driving? Are you satisfied with the one you chose, or do you wish you'd have done something different?
