Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Property Projects & Construction Tractor Size for 35 acres?

I purchased a kubota L4400 43 pto hp 4x4. It is rated for a 6 ft mower. If you will be mowing the majority of that 35 acres then the saleman isn't just trying to make a sale you will be far ahead with the 50 hp machine. Yes you can get by with less but you will be spending a lot more hours in the seat and working the smaller machine much harder. In my case I have open land and wooded brush land so I needed something for both. The bigger tractors will not manuver thru the trees and the little tractors are a bit underpowered for large open mowing. Alot depends on what type of grass you are cutting and how often you cut. Thick costal grass can bog down the biggest of cutters. I chose a mid size tractor that would do both. Mine has the quick detach front in loader which I have never removed and never will it has more uses than all my other implements combined.
