I only have 2 acres, but my girl Cindy owns the adjacent 80 acres. Her property has about 1 acre of course lawn, 6 acres of pecan orchard (leased to neighbor), 14 acres of cotton/peanut field (leased out), and the balance is wooded. At this time the orchard is maintained by our neighbor who mows it as needed. There's 1 mile of dirt road that starts at the front of the property and ends in a loop in the woods.
Cindy has been thinking about buying a 60" zero-turn mower for the lawn, around the field, and to mow the orchard when Mr. H retires (he's 85). I've suggested that she pass on the mower and get the smallest, best quality tractor that can handle the needs of her property. Value/cost is a big factor to Cindy. The tractor should be just big enough to be able to work the 14 acre field if she should ever decide to plant it herself.
People seem to like Kabota around here, and 4WD is also recommended. Does anyone have any advice?
