I bought her a little JD lawn tractor and she happily cuts the grass and mulches leaves with it. She has no use for the Kubota. It's used for digging, grading the lane and blowing snow. We get lots of wind and drifting, so the lane can plug up in under an hour on a bad day. I work from home, she works in town. It'll be a snowy day in July before she hops on the Kubota for 30 minutes of snow blowing as part of her getting ready for work routine.
