Hello,
I am very new to this so bear with me if I have no idea what I am talking about. I am going to be closing soon on a 4.5 acre home that is currently about half mowed and half brush. The house is also at the end of a long private ROW (1/4 mi) and the three homes on the end take turns clearing the snow. So I am looking for a machine that can help mow (and clear that brush) and well as help out with the snow removal. I have found two local ads. One for a Mitsubishi MT372 and a very clean Befco C50 mower deck for $2500 the other is a 1961 ford 801 with new tires, hydraulic pump and gauges with Sherman 12spd trans. (No Mower) for $2350 OBO. Eventually I would like to attach a plow or bucket to whatever machine I purchase to help with the snow.
Any opinions on which one of these is a better machine/buy for my needs. I could spend a little more if need be -- but I do like the price range these are in. Thanks for any advice/guidance.
