Hyd stands seems like overkill. Jackstands are ok, but a better system, (if you use trailer every day) would be stands attached to trailer. I can send you pix. The best system uses ramps, with legs, attached to trailer with spring to counter the weight.Easy to flip up. Nothing to get lost.In my opinion, the most important things are: having enought brakes(both axels & properly adjusted) & visible turn signals/brake lites, when loaded.

On my JD 5510 (75-80 pto hp) running a heavy Woods Batwing 15' mower,I use 1.7 to 1.9 gal/hour.This is better than my JD 2640,(maybe 55hp at Denver altitude, no turbo) same use, at 2.2 gal/hr. My Ford 1920 W/ Woods MD 6' mower, uses 1.6 gal/hr. The Neb. test for the 5510 MFWD reported over 4.3 gal/hr. Not very real world. The newer JD tractors W/ turbo gives me a lot more bang for the buck.

Unless your tractor is a MFWD, there is no reason to replace the front tires. Also the R4 type tire is an industrial lug tire and won't have that much more traction. Your best bet would be R1 tractor tires. Try Premier Tire Terminal 1-800 525-3031 or 303 297-9555.

A real"Bush Hog" medium or heavy duty are good commercial mowers. I have used one in my weed mowing business. I now use a WOODS Batwing. Both brands are expensive but won't break down with daily use on rough sites. The light duty models are only good for homeowner use, in my opinion. Even the light duty units can cost $2000 ( 5 ft) when set up with front & rear chain kits & a slip clutch. The chains are required anytime you mow near (200 ft) people, houses, cars, roads etc. The mowers that cost under $1000 new will mow ok untill the first time you hit a tree stump, big rock.
