looking for a tractor that can perform the following.
mow along side private road 8' cut on each side - road is 30 miles long (60 miles round trip) approx 10 hours to cut, will cut 2 times per month.
looking at a MF1552 CT w/ cab & woods 7'-6" finish mower - actually REALLY need an 8' but can't find 8' finish mower. the mower is close to maxing out the tractor HP, but I believe it would handle it ok. An 8' rotary cutter would be ok but I think it would put me in a bigger tractor than I can afford.
Need a VERY dependable tractor since the road is in the middle of nothing - breaking down would require a long walk.
I think the MF451 would be fine but no Cab available.
any suggestions on tractor sizes & manufacture (Case, JD, kubota, ect...) would be appreciated.
