Sounds to me like you need a second tractor. With that 184 you probably do little or no hand or push mowing. In looking at every aspect of what you said, I would have to say get a second tractor. I too was tempted to say get a new Kubota or Yanmar, but that is not the economical answer. If I were you I would keep the 184 and add a 30-40 hp utility tractor with loader, rear scraper blade or box scraper. I don't think the C or SC is the answer on loader work. The Farmall (any size) probably the greatest field work tractor ever built, bar none, is not a good loader tractor. In fact people wanting to install loaders is one of the major factors that took away the good field work features of the Farmall. Another item I would seriuosly look at is a skidsteer loader. You would soon find that all those places where the 184 cuts uneven would be smoothed out. Never underestimate the ability of a skidsteer. I once put 72 truckloads of fill in a cemetary in 6 hours with a Case 1737 uniloader. The community wanted to build up a low area without removing stones. If my goals were mowing and landscape improvments, skidloader and small mower tractor way to go. I think just about everyone that has gone to the larger mower tractor find them selves doing a lot of hand mowing.
