This forum helped me a great deal when deciding to buy a tractor. Never owned one before, but I'm retiring soon, and as the dealer told me they are the "Swiss army knife" of homeowner equipment.

I recently moved from a 16 acre property that was 95% hardwood Bush, to a 6 acre property with a 1000' driveway, and about 4 acres cleared. The thought of using a walk-behind snowblower for this driveway was intolerable. I figured I'd spoil myself and get something to make the job fun.

Our property has land that goes all the way down to a tidal river, but has been neglected for a couple of years. I have been using the Land Pride RCR1260 for clearing duties, and with a little extra work with the gas trimmer, it is just starting to come along.

I thank you all for the information I received in my search for my first ever tractor, and hopefully I will be able to provide assistance one day to others.

Cheers all!

Cheers guys, thanks for the Welcome! We're really pleased with the new property, it is beautiful here. Really looking forward to getting the area down by the water looking nice and manicured. It will definitely take some time as I mentioned, it's been neglected for so long.

Here's a view from the house....

:welcome:
To the TBN forum. We are glad that you joined.

Nice looking tractor and land. My dealer suggested the RCR1260 but I opted for the more rugged 1860.

The 1260 seems to be working ok so far. It's not really thick brush, more like tall grasses and bushes.

I'd be interested to know what the differences are between the two. My dealer even came out to the property before I purchased to see if the equipment I was looking at was up to the task....
