Hello folks,
My home sits on a fenced 1.5 acres surrounded by another relatively well fenced 23 acres of some times steep pasture, trees and a livestock pond. My problem is I don’t have a real plan for it yet. I know I’ll need to do some grading and finish mowing around the home this spring/summer but beyond that I’m just not certain. That being said I THINK I’m looking for the largest tractor I can get that will do finish mowing without tearing up the lawn and some loader work … of special note … three to four feet under front lawn sits three runs of 90 ft plastic septic lines … don’t want to disturb those. I THINK a sub compact would do the trick but I THINK I want something larger in the event I decide to start doing some pasture work.
Based on the above … what tractor suggestions would you folks have?
We have NH, JD and Kubota dealers in the area.
Thanks in advance for your help
Rick ... What a great site uh

Well the BX especially the 22-23-24 would even help fix those lines if they are to close to the surface but you should have no trouble with them after a year of settling. For the back area you might look for a good used forty horsepower farm tractor and a bush hog. For occasional use on the front lawn go with the larger tractor with loader and other equipment for the back and a good mower that might be a zero turn for the front. ....

It is not the necessarily the weight of the tractor but the surface contact area of the tires that creates problems. You can get oversized turf tires. I would think you could do with something about gross 35-40 hp. ....

Sounds like a good candidate for a B7800 or 7610. Small enough for the lawn, big enough for the pasture. Just anouther opinion. ....
