John,

You are amazing with your pictures. I challenge you to post a picture of a Big Bud tractor in the next 30 minutes.

Bravo! We need the Big Bud to tow the Batwing over Grant's triangle. Do you only do tractors?

Ahhhh, wellll,

You may THINK that the Big Bud solves the problem. But only if they fit it out with Turf tires. I wouldn't want those Ags in my front yard.

I figured this whole subject was headed in the wrong direction/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif after I read Grants profile. Here was a fellow poster looking for support from this forum to help convince the BOSS he needed a new tractor and mower.
It's been fun watching yours and others suggestions on how to save time and fuel./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Well, you are gonna need a backhoe for that new Big Bud tractor. May I suggest this one?

Note: This particular backhoe is not available in a three-point mount version.

Why not? It only weighs 11 million pounds.

John, the Bushhog batwing you have picutred in the center is what they use at work for grass cutting. There is a 15' and a 20' wide and actually do a good job. Then after they do the big mowing the use two Johndeere grasshoppers. What they can't get with that they use string trimmers. They also have a Ford tractor with a sprayer mounted on the rear for roundup extra and they go through some roundup. Two people are full time grasscutters in the summer months. Not to bad when your pulling the batwings, a-c and a nice radio, the New Holland has a little drink cooler built into it but the a-c doesn't work near as well as the John Deere.

Inside the fence they have one grasshopper, ten pushmowers and six string trimmers.

Gordon,

I ordered a 15' Befco Batwing for one of my best friends... at the last minute he changed it to the 12' {recommendations from golf course maintenance people}.

He mows his 8 -10 acre front lawn around a couple man-made ponds, and uses a Massey Ferguson 1165 to pull it. {Over 8000 lbs. total weight} The wife and kids have John Deere riders that finish around the house and out-buildings... Really a fun family affair for them.../w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
