That sure is a bright color for a John Deere! Here's my wife Carol placing some pine bark mulch for me on a small landscape project we just finished. I gave her the choice between hand raking mulch or placing it with the JD. Guess which one she chose?
By the way, our 2 acre pond below the house is visible in the background here ...
I don't know how much tractor experience you may have but you might want to take a look at the Trophy Plot Maker I have on the back of the JD. It's designed to be pulled with an ATV (which I also do) but it's equally handy on the tractor with a 3-point attachment. It'll disc, seed and drag in one operation. Everything from the finest Bermuda grass seed all the way up to whole kernel corn and larger.
