Murf, the moderating infuence of the Atlantic means that we in the plains of South Jersey get 80% and upwards humidity AND 90F and upwards heat for a good portion of the summer. If that's moderation, I don't want any part of it :)

I guess the point that I originally tried to make is that all lanscaping requires maintenance, the less work you want to get away with now will mean more work for you down the line.

Rick,
The dealer must be right on the MSRP. I was giving you last year's number for a rigid ROPS model, which is less, of course. Even so, he's not giving you much of a discount (just under 10%). Then again, he has to make a living, too.
As far as L3400 with gear trans, I'd go for a hydrostatic for loader work, just my opinion.

Anyways, I hated the shopping myself. When you do get that tractor delivered and go out there to take care of business, you won't care much if you paid a few hundred bucks more or less.

Wingwiper,
I'm flattered by your compliment, but I don't think I'm deserving of it. All people here are good Patriots; we all have different backgrounds and approach politics from the viewpoint that is specific to our circumstances. Some people are more concerned about economics, others are bothered by social issues. However, when you remind a reasonable person of a problem from a different perspective, they will most likely see your point.

Even when it doesn't rain, the dew settles on equipment that you store outside and contributes to corrosion. Water is the enemy of equipment.

How many 50-year old tractors do you know of that have been kept outside for their lifetime and are still working? But I can think of a few in my neighborhood that have been kept in a shed and are still mowing lawns.

Isn't it funny how you can make up a tractor payment by mowing a couple of 2 acre fields, but couldn't dream of getting the same kind of money cultivating 4 acres with whatever crop you can think of? In effect, you get paid more for keeping land from growing things than if you produced something.

My neighbor and I have about the same soil conditions on our properties. He cannot use his CUT with Ag tires on the lawn because the tractor leaves the ruts, unless the soil is really dry. I mow with Turf tires and haven't had any rots, even in areas that were submerged under water a couple of days earlier. I imagine though, you could mow with Industrial tires whent he ground is pretty dry.

I mow my lawn up and down and then left to right and that helps to spread the shavings, in addition to giving a cleaner cut.

another thing I never dreamed I'd hear about. Let's face it, there's no will to maintain our common American culture anymore. I can guarantee that in 20 years the Spanish language will become a mandatory subject to be thought in public schools in at least 6 states. Moreover, most of us will be alive to see this country cease to exist as we know it today. Adios, America!

Someone mentioned it here already - the size of the isle in your barn is what matters. If your barn is on the smaller size, I bet you'll be using the wheelbarrow inside and wheel the waste to the tractor outside; in this case mid-mount mower will not present a problem.

custom mounting may be the way to go like kthompson recommended. try out "easy hitch" that JD offers. definitely practice using the 3-point hitch before comitting to it; I don't have any physical impediments (at least visible ones), but manage to get scratches or bumps every time I change attachments. It doesn't bother me, but for someone with joint pain, that is a major obsticle.

"If you slow down the engine before you disengage the PTO and pull into uncut grass it should slow quickly."

You gotta be right on that one. That's probably the fastest and safest way to solve my "problem". I slow down PTO anyway since on re-engagement I need to start it at low rpm.

"dig up the stumps" -- see, I got all them really old trees that are not entirely dead, so I feel bad cutting them down (not to mention what a pain in the butt that would be), but every now and then I'll have a branch drop on the ground that wasn't there the day before and I only see it when it's time to cut. Now, you gotta give me credit - I wised up a lot since I started maintaining my current property. Back when I first bought it, I'd notice a log and see if my mower was "up to the task". Needless to say, that mower ended up needing a lot of expensive repairs and is no longer with me..

Size wise, the B series is not that much larger than the BX, the perception is skewed by the fact that the B is a lot HIGHER than the BX. Having said that, IMHO, a B would be an overkill for a 1.25 acre plot, no matter what the jobs.

Here's one for laughs: almost made my garage door opening just tall enough to let the tractor in without folding the ROPS. Lucky for me the house is faced with brick, so no major damage done and the ROPS will need a quick spray over with Kubota grey.
