@airbiscuit Yes, I purchased a suspension seat. It helps minimize the back pain, but it by no means is a miracle. It is a temporary fix. I also air down the machine's tires. Again, less tire pressure makes the ride a little softer, but it's a temporary fix. I have been mowing less "lawn"...

Yes, the 15,000 lbs tractor he is using to roll might cause more harm than good... I have been on the search for a 1,500 - 2,000 lbs roller I can hook up to a UTV and pull it with that so less chance of creating large ruts.

Sorry for the delayed reply. The farmer that did the work came back to see the results at the end of May. I had him take my zero turn for a spin. After two passes, he hopped off and said it definitely should not be this rough. He thinks the freeze/thaw over the winter moved the soil around a...

Haha, my bad. 30% fescue, 25% bluegrass, 45% rye

Here is a quick clip of the area being mowed. Some areas or worse than this and some areas are better than this. Even when riding over the property in a Polaris Ranger UTV, rough areas can still be felt.

Yes, having some land has been a long dream of mine. Now that I have a little piece, I am trying to see what equipment makes most sense for my application. The funds for a tractor aren't there right now, so I'm using multiple pieces of equipment to accomplish tasks. Right now it consists of a...

The zero turn I use is a 60" Z900 commercial series from John Deere. It's built to withstand heavy usage and mow acreage. Rear tires are 24x9.5-12. No suspension seat. I am looking into suspension seat options. Freeze and thaw cycles must have come into play to make it this rough. I'm mowing at...

Does anyone use a tow behind mower with their ATV or UTV? I am looking into the Encore Tracer 72" rear discharge tow behind finish cut mower to use with a Polaris Ranger to mow a few acres of lawn. I'm curious what is your overall opinion of tow behind mowers...

I moved onto 6 acres of farm land and built a house. I mowed one Ohio mowing season and quickly realized the ground was uneven and rutted from the farm equipment that worked the land. It was beating me up as well as my zero turn. So, I talked to a local farmer to smooth out the land and put down...

What is the better choice for the 2021 Silverado 2500 HD? 6.6L gas or 6.6L diesel I have the 6.0L gas engine now in a 2014 Silverado 2500 HD, but looking for extra power and an overall heavy duty machine. Does the 6.6L gas deliver a noticeable difference from the 6.0L? Driving scenarios...

I have an existing gravel driveway that I would like to add a "bump out" to. The "bump out" will be approximately 20' wide x 70' long. The existing driveway is a bunch of #1 and #2 stone topped with 57 limestone. Should I copy the way the existing gravel drive is (use #1 and #2 stone as base...

I am searching for a zero turn mower to mow 3 acres. While researching, I keep seeing the advice to "get a used commercial grade machine". I will begin that search, but what are some make and models I should be looking at. I would like something with at least a 50" cutting deck. When it comes...

What machine is the smart choice to remove snow from a 400 ft long x 12 ft wide gravel driveway? Drive pad is 35 ft wide x 45 ft deep Goal is to remove snow efficiently while not removing a lot of the 57 limestone. I live on a 2 lane country rode, so when the town plow trucks come by they do...

I am new to tractors and need some opinions from you experts. I need to grade and level my property to get the ruts out left from a much larger farm tractor. The property used to be farmed for soybeans and corn. Now, my home is being built on it and I need to think about a lawn next year. The...

I have been put in charge of finding the right used compact tractor for our family's needs. Budget is around $25,000. Property is just under 10 acres with about 5 acres of field and 5 acres of woods. Some of the work the tractor will see include brush hogging, gravel driveway maintenance, tree...

I recently closed on a piece of land that I plan to build a home on. From what I was told, it was farmed for many decades. To my knowledge, soybeans and corn were the crops that were primarily farmed with alternating crops every year. Most recently, soybeans were on the land. The lot is about...

Hey everyone, I purchased 6 acres to build a house on. I am seeking recommendations on what equipment is best suited for my needs. I will need equipment to mow, snowplow, and haul stuff around the property. I have considered the following equipment: Tractor - can mow, snowplow, and haul...

In the near future my family plans to own some land. The size of the land will range from 50 acres to 500 acres. The land will be used for recreation, hunting, and possibly the sight of a future home.I took the liberty of tackling the task of finding the right equipment for the land. I am in...
