I found the blade for plowing absolutely inadequate.Even with chains and wheel weights. The snow gets too heavy and pushes the tractor instead of the tractor pushing the snow.2.)That mower is a finish mower. It will not work too well in a field of weeds. Maybe if you get it under control after a few mowings and then stay on top of it you will be ok. It will have a tendancy to bog down if the grass/weeds are too much.3.) I never had much luck leveling dirt for the same reason as number #1. Not enought tractor for the job.I live on 3 acres. You must have some land there if you got 1200' of drive to plow.I ended up buying a JD425 for my mowing needs and a JD755 compact tractor for my tractor needs.In my opinion , a compact tractor is what you will need to do atleast jobs #1 and #3 You will just be disappointed with the equipments performance and you will beat the heck out of your equipment if you try to do those jobs with that lawn tractor.Sorry I couldn't be more positive....just trying to give you my honest opinionRay ">  John Deere 455 garden tractorJohn Deere Tractors Replies 23 Post by Ray C.   Help needed in deciding what size and type of compact tractor to buyOperating and Attachments Replies 25 Post by Ray C.   Price Check - 955 Other Tractor Brands Replies 5 Post by Ray C.   jd 755 price check John Deere Tractors Replies 4 Post by Ray C.   john deere 650 advice needed John Deere Tractors Replies 4 Post by Ray C.
