Let's just say that four houses, and farms in three counties, I use a 2305 for lawn / landscape purposes; and, you know the "other" stuff that goes along with farms.

just happen to come across this thread and decided put my 2 cents in. I have seven acres where My home is and an other 45 acres of pasture (30 miles away) with 1 acre stocked pond, 5 pecan trees and 23 head herdford cattle. I tend to all of it with a 50 hp kubota, FEL, 7 ft bush hog, 6 ft finish mower, 3 pt post hole digger, 55 gal PTO driven sprayer, 6ft grader box. 10ft wheeled disk harrow. Plan to move premenately to the 45 acres when I retire in four years.:rolleyes:

50 acres, 4 in grass / pasture, 46 of hardwoods (red maple, ash, nut trees). We are near the Iriquois National Wildlife Refuge, so our soil is similar. Interesting to watch a 90' maple tree push itself out of the ground via hydraulic action / freeze / thaw cycles (wet ground, freezes, pushing trees upward). Lots of firewood though...
