No loader, but low hours.

Let me get this right? You want to ride this to mow 2+ acres? Just how much time do you plan on spending mowing @ 4mph?
If you've got that much lawn you'll need a 72" mower off the 3pt and a walker for around the house close work.
Get a 4 X4 CUT with an FEL used for $8-10K

1998 Kioti LK3054 Tractor - $8500

It's got less than 1000 hrs on it.

Nice area down there.
Dad was born in Paragould. Mom in Niangua.
Fish tremble when they find out I'm coming back home.
Taneycomo and Table Rock are probably messed up now.
Haven't been back that way in 40 yrs.
Silver Dollar City was brand new and Marvel Cave still had fresh concrete.
Yeah, I'm that old.
Ya'll ain't heard music till you've heard the BaldKnobbers.

Tell 'em, Tractornewb!

So you're saying I should be looking for at least a 60" deck if it's a belly mower, and preferrably a larger finish mower that's 3-pt mounted?

Thanks for the advice.

I think the 2230 is a reasonable consideration for 2.8 acres. You should be able to do routine mowing in high range at 6 mph with the belly mower shown, just depends on how smooth your lawn areas are. You should be able to use the 3ph and a few attachments and do a good job maintaining your lawn. I use a Deere x749 with 3ph and 540 pto that is similar in size and hp and rarely need the larger tractors on the lawn areas.

I have 18.77 acres , I mow about 5,bush hog about 5 and leave about 8 in trees, I use a john deere from lowes zero turn to mow and a old 35 massey to bush hog,plus I got a lil 1310 with a finish mower I plan to use a lot, but buying the zero turn new for $4200 and the massey for about $2000 has worked out to do everything I need
