I need the bush hog for rough areas of tall grass/bushes (depending on how often it's maintained), guessing maybe 5 acres. Also need bush hog if behind on horse pasture (several acres). Then ideally move to finishing mower for pastures and possibly rough areas if have kept up on it, but some may always need to be bush hog. Box blade for gravel driveway and also moving rock in seasonal creek so it's passable with truck near barn.
Hi, female here with a lot to learn, safety being priority.
I am going to reference another thread. Safety is your priority. Steep slopes are the priority for the poster. A Ventrac or Steiner could be the solution for both you, as mowing is the prime tractor application foreseen by both of you.
What advice would you give someone using equipment in the mountains? I would probably use a Zero turn for the lawn grass.
Consider a Ventrac or Steiner for your primary mower.
Ventrac is a division of Toro.
Expensive, durable, two-plane articulated equipment designed for mowing slopes.
The primary market for both Ventrac and Steiner is golf courses. Service should be available in western NC.

A little fear is better than a notion of invulnerability during tractor research.

Picked up a previously owned Ventac today. Not the best condition, but it'll do the job and give me something to clean up!
