    It had been a year or two since this 2 acre field was mowed.

    Hello from Salem, OR

    Good afternoon everyone! My wife and I bought a house on 2.89 acres just East of Salem (South of Macleay) 2 months ago. We've spent time mowing grass and tending our indoor horse arena with our John Deere LA135 lawn tractor, but have known we were destined to buy a tractor at some point soon...
