Will a Power-Trac front mount mower reduce the alternate trimming devices required to finish the lawn near my creek-stone wall ? The wall is about 1000 feet around the perimeter of my residence.

Hard to say. Probably depends on what you are using now. I know that I can get very close to flower boxes and fences. And I can get under bushes by about 3'. I can get pretty far into a corner, like you show in the picture. I would leave about a 12" inside curve in the inside corner. I couldn't get that close with a mid mount mower. I might be able to do it with a rear finish mower, but it is hard on my neck and back. A front mount mower really is nice. Great control. And the articulated steering of the PT really helps you snake around curves. The whole tractor just follows the mower, kind of like those dragons with the people under them in a parade.

if you are looking for a finished look a trimmer of some sort will be needed . a mwer just can't cut every thing the way a trimmer will ... if their would be a way to eliminate 16-28 men hours on trimming a day .... i would be the first one to buy this wonder machine
