I've mowed the field with it several times, but it doesn't do well. I can't let it grow more than a few inches, or the lawn tractor can't handle it at all. In order to maintain the few inch mowing, I'd be mowing this thing every 4-5 days (there's a lot of coastal grass in my field and that stuff grows an inch or more over night, especially when it rains). I need a bush hog, plain and simple. I suppose I could find an old 8N or the like and a cheap bush hog...that would certainly get the job done, but then there is the ditch problem (hence my desire for dual clutch, or independent PTO) and I really, REALLY want power steering. The older tractors don't provide that usually, and the ones that do cost nearly as much as a new tractor in this area. Secondly, if I do go with something that will simply "make do for now", then I have the problem of selling it and then getting another tractor in PA. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me the best thing to do is just go ahead and get one that will meet my needs both here and in PA right off the bat. I dunno, that's how I see it right now. I'm still looking and still listening though :-) Follow Ups: Re: Re: Re: Re: Chinese tractors...what's the scoop?
