Hi,
I've been a member here for some time, and have been a reader mostly. Now, I've bought a house on 3 acres and need some advice. First, the house has a pretty big front yard which will need to be tended to. About 2 acres in the back is fenced in, with some oak, cedar, and some prickly pear cactus. I don't want to manicure the back, but will occassionally mow it. Also in the future, I may want to put in a guest house and accompanying driveway, along with possibly putting in another section of fence. I currently have a JD lawn tractor, X304, which I don't think will be up to what I need; I will probably sell it, or trade it. Looking for suggestions on what is felt would be units for me to consider. Also, concerned about the needles on the prickly pears penetrating the tires. Thanks for everyone's insight.
