Some of it has to be done very slowly because of slope or rocks/trees etc. Anyhow, this has been a rainy spring and I feel like I'm living in the seat. Seat time is good, but that many hours mowing is getting to be a drag.
I'm not sure what my options are other than tough it out. Tractor performs beautifully and only has 193 hours on it. I suspect that I'll get unpleasant sticker shock if I try trading up. Have any of you tired it?
Has anyone tried a 6' mower on a 25? The official answer is that 5' is the biggest and I suspect that's about right based on RPM drop when I mowing uphill.

Have you seen the TYM Tractor line? To me these tractors out spec many out there in the field. If you have to trade up be sure to keep an open mind when picking out your next tractor. I here you can get a 23 and 27 hp TYM with a loader now between $10995 and $11995.
