17 acres, hilly with heavy brush - L3130 HST or L3400HST?

[Bill Barrett]

I have a L3130 HST and doing what you are 20 acres of CRP couple times a year with about 5 acres every week I have a KK 72" finish mower and a 5' Wallace Auto rotary. I just mowed the 20 acres (CRP not in yet) some weeds and grass was 6' in about 8.5 hours. About one gal. per hour. I'm sure I could run a 6' rotary mower. I also have a gear tractor,I wouldn't trade the HST for anything. Good luck I lost weeks of sleep before I bought.

I spent much more time researching the tractor (L5030) than I have had time to use it so far
