Newbie here on this forum, my name is Curtis and I live in S/W Louisiana on the La/Tx border. I have 8 acres of land with a small pond, house on the front 2 1/2 acres that I mow with a Ferris zero-turn mower and the back 5 1/2 that I bush hog with my '87 DeutzAllis 5220 (26 hp) tractor that I purchased new along with a 5' Sunshine/Modern cutter. I'm presently searching for a new compact tractor with FEL/4WD around the same 26-30 hp as my old tractor. I've been reading a lot on this forum and really enjoy it.
