Largest Garden Tractor?

[logdog]

Just out of curiosity, what is the largest garden tractor? The Deere 400 series? Simplicity 9020? The subject came up at lunch today and I figured I would get other people's input.

Cadet 982 or super series chassis is as big a model as you mentioned but then there was the 185 cub lowboy or was that the first compact?

I saw a 4 cylinder water cooled wheel horse a few years back with a 60 inch mower deck if I remember correctly

It does kinda bring up the question of where is the line between a garden tractor and a subcompact.

Did it look like it was original or a converson somebody did?

They did build some back in the seventies I believe with four cylinder gas engine. Good units we still have a couple around.

I guess it depends how big of a tractor you can fit in your garden

The garden tractor is derived from the sit-on lawn mowers of the 50s-60s suburbia. A machine built around a mower deck as its central core. Just build them a little bigger and now they can blow snow and till the "garden
Compacts are derived from larger farm tractors whos main purpose was ground engagement. Build them a little smaller and now they can be used for a multitude of applications where a farm tractor doesnt fit.
I think a good rule of thumb is cat.0 vs cat.1 capability.

I don't see there is much gained from trying to differentiate where the lawn mower / garden tractor / compact utility tractor separation/overlap might be.... seems there was such a round table discussion a few times before that doesn't produce much useful information.

To some a lawn is a garden, but a garden isn't a lawn. :confused3:

Whatever

To go back to the original question, what would be the biggest? Tractor data doesnt list the measurements for alot of them.
