I just wanted to say hi after joining. I have been reading for awhile and thought I would join to tap into your knowledge when the time comes.
I am maintaining 5 acres for my mom since my dad passed last year. I was paying a guy to mow but he wasn't dependable. Also, mowing is just a small part of maintenance.
My dad and I bought a 1986 Ford 1210 4wd in 1989 to help landscape the 5 acres. There are now many trees and a 1 acre pond and the tractor has 400 hours on it. Mainly I am bush hogging and grading / leveling. The tractor has been great and has done everything asked without trouble. I know it is not the biggest one out there, but when used right, is a great machine.
Also, I bought a Toro 50 inch ZTR to help with the mowing but when it rains alot, I will use the bush hog.
Looking forward to talking to you later.
Steve
