As some of you may have seen I just acquired some property in Tennessee. Over 80 acres, plenty of stuff to do
I'm for sure getting a tractor, or using the tractor that is there (l3000) But I also want/need a smaller mower for what I am going to call the house yard. I'm not sure the size but over 1 ac and less than 10
I think I have ruled out a ZT. I really think for me a smaller lawn tractor is going to fit.
Am I crazy for wanting it to be diesel? It seems to me I would have to only worry about 1 fuel, not that 2 fuels are that big of a deal. Plus I will admit I just like diesel engines a little better than gas but really I know both can get the job done.
I am thinking 48" deck just to keep it a little more gate/space friendly. I will go a little larger if forced.
So as I said in my other thread, I know very little about what is out there. I have just never been in this space so this is all new ground so to speak.
Assuming budget can be very large this one time, what should I look at that will last. Not really looking for to many useless features, but build quality etc.
Is it just Kubota GR and JD X7xx series in this space? Am I crazy for going this level?
