What is it for? Simply put, a lawn mower ! The family "farm" (1/2 woods, 1/2 fields) is about 250 acres. Father in law says he thinks it's 100 acres fields. Well, This summer was my first indoctrination to cutting roughly 100 acres with an IH 444 (ZERO brakes) and a 5' cutter. Parts of farm had gone 2 to 3 years between cuts. Felt like I was cutting Sherwood Forest. I'm trying desperately to get them to consider a 15 foot cutter to cut down seat time. looking also at new machines, but for a lawn mower, I have hard time justifying 40+/- K give or take. If I bought a NEW machine (looking primarily at M class Kubota) I'd want a cab, loader, 4wd, a/c, heat.. :) as the register goes ka-ching... that delusion grows further away. Farm owned by father in law and uncle in law (80/83). When it passes to next generation, there will be 12 new owners, each owning roughly 20 acres each (NOT deeded off..common ownership) It's THIS QUAGMIRE that's pending that keeps ME from spending the $$ to take care of every one elses portion of land..and of course, they are not offering ~~4,000 each to buy commonly owned tractor... Sigh..as it will be ME keeping "their" farm cut (over the longer term) (all are out of town) I want something larger to keep my cutting time to minimum. Richard

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
