Mowing Most Inexpensive Solution For Lawn Mowing

[Tim_in_IA]

I have been mulling around the idea of a second Mahindra for taking care of the lawn. My John Deere rider is giving me fits and I see an engine rebuild in the future. So what would be the most inexpensive Mahindra option using a 3 point finish mower? Any deals going right now?

Tim,
The new Mahindra programs will be out on September 1st, and also we need to know what size mower you need. We will be able to help more when we know that information.

Depending on the size of the 3-point finish mower you'd want, I'll bet that 1815HST would be awfully dang sweet!!!

Or is that a little too low on PTO HP???

I run a 5 foot finish mower on my 2015 gear. Works fantastic. All my mowing is long straight runs with no stopping, so the non-live PTO is no big deal. But I imagine the 2015 HST would do just as well.

Way to go Spiveyman. Dougster see word about you is getting around. If I had only thought of it first. But I am tired and a little slow today. Here is my idea of an inexpensive mower. By the way I do rent them out. Resonable rates for the week or month.

Glad to see someone else with a warped sense of humor. That's not even my "lawn mower," I just saw the thread and had to do it. Good luck with your landscaping business.

Now I'm not sure what I said in this thread to deserve any particular note or reference... ...but I think Tim's idea is not unreasonable at all. The fact is that even my mere 41HP Beast is kinda big for several applications. And Tim's 6500 4WD makes mine look like a toy.

I think we should both get little brother machines... although I still want mine to come with a loader.

Well, not me exactly (we have way way too much lawn) but they do blame a lot of the flooding in cities and towns on concrete.

Most people cover what used to be grass over in tarmac for more parking and no mowing in towns. It said on the news the other night this made the houses more valuable.

But, now, when it rains it all washes out of the drive and floods the place as it has no where to drain to

Something like 65% of what used to be grass is now concrete in urban areas.

No Doug that's what they do down in NJ. They take truck loads of crushed stone paint them green and spread them out. Instant grass.


Frugalness----just trying to give ya a little class

I have 36 of those machines already! And they do come in the yard from time to time. But they do a number on the lilac bushes!

Here are the troops going through the timber!

Am I detecting that "Anti-New Jersey" prejudice again???

But back to topic: Brian (MtnViewRanch) is always talking about getting a little baby brother tractor for his 7520 4WD. What bothers me is that he considers my 4110 a little small for that purpose!

36 of them. Man and I complain about three of the little monsters. Ours kindastick with the llamas and leave the pretty vegatation alone. Not that we have much of that anyway.

They do have a talent of getting to where ever they want to be though. No matter how much fence you put up.

Doug,
Take a look out your back window at the yard. Can you even manage to turn a 7520 around back there. Now think of the back yard Brian has. A 4110 would be a small machine. Heck when you put my Tank in the field next to the 100hp JD it looks kinda small too.

Yep... everything is relative. One man's large tractor is another man's toy tractor. That's the irony of my situation here now compared to my future life in New Hampshire. Right now, for certain jobs, the 4110 is too big. In two years time, the 4110 will most likely be too small.
