With no tissue left in my shoulders I have to give up my antique Simplicity garden tractor for mowing our hive locations. I was looking at a replacement with power steering. So far I found a Kubota gr200 series, a Deere 580 series and a Simplicity all wheel drive power steer. All are in the 10,000 range but I hear about transmission and hydraulic problems on all. Any advice as this is all hillside pasture mowing around the beehives. BTW I considered a zero turn but when a dealer saw some of the hills and obstacles, he said that I would kill myself with a zero turn. What say you?
