My wife and I just bought a new house with the typical builder's landscaping (read: all grass). The lot is only an acre and a half (postage stamp size compared to some of you folks) but its way more than I want to mow with the 21" Lawn Boy. I've been considering a tractor for years ("dreaming" is more like it /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif) and now looks like the time... I'm still doing the research on tractor sizes et. al. but I'm looking at a loader and a hoe for sure since I'll be doing a bit of dirt moving to "fix" what the builder left us with. Now it appears that I should get a mower as well.
I've done a lot of reading in this forum about tractor/loader/hoe sizes and I'm amazed at the wealth of knowledge...what a great resource! I guess I'm in the range of a B2710/2910 or maybe a B21 but I'll leave those questions for another post... I have no no clue about mowers and I'm hoping that you folks can help to educate me.
Do any of you have an opinion about 3pt finish mowers vs. belly mounted finish mowers? Ease of use, ease of maintenance, and ease of removal/attaching would be my primary concerns, quality of the cut is the big concern for my wife...
Thanks in advance... Bill
