Hi,
I am just starting to look for tractor (most likely blue /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif) to mow about 7 acres of fairly smooth (cultivated - was corn, more recently hay) terrain. As the lot http://www.erols.com/oregon/lot_pics.htm is a long rectangle with what I am guessing to be about a 6 - 7 per cent grade, how much HP would be required to pull a 72" finishing mower up the hill at a reasonable (6 - 8 mph ??) speed?
