Guy's ,Hello,My daughter built a new home back in a hilly woods, We leveled the ground,cleared all the trees and put the lawn in with my old 35. Probably saved her several thousand dollars, the old tractor earned it's keep that summer.We had to ripp up and moved about 3 semi dumps of dirt to get the lawn level and slopped away from the house. My old 1950's Happy days tractor is still at work. -ed

Hello, Yes thats a 3pnt hitch belly mower.3 blade finish mower. Easy on -off, just pull the pins and drive right over the deck. It"s made by continal-belton, Belton Texas. They are the only company that made one run off 3pnt that i"m aware of. I have it on my 2000 ford right now, will cut a 6 ft. path going 9 mph if you can stand the ride. I"m mowing about 5 acres and I love it as its fast and doesn"t tie up a tractor. -ed |

Boy I'd love to have every one of your attachments especially the belly mower. I'm using a 6ft. flail mower and have to be real careful not to swipe my bushes with it. |

2tractors, Here"s my latest, A home made grader/drag my son buit for me, They work great for landscaping. They shave off the high spots, gather dirt and fill in the low spots, all you have to do is drag it around. I also have a bush hog rebel,5ft. double 14 plows and 5ft. 3 point disks. It"s getting hard to get in the barn LOL-ed

I work my old 202 hard every chance I get and she loves it!! These old machines were built to work. They may not be as refined as some of the newer stuff but with proper maintenance they'll outlast many newer ones!
I like that grader your son built, simple but I'm sure it's effective. I added a rear gauge wheel to my back blade which helps but it's still not perfect.
Going to look at a TO-35 tomorrow with a Davis loader on it. If it's as good as it looks in the pictures it'll be a steal! |

Inno,Hello, I have had one of those drags for 25 years I made from an old 3pnt carry all and 2 rusty I beams I made in a hurry as i had 60 dump truck loads of dirt to spread. It worked so well i kept it and put in severl lawns with it. My son just made me a new one as the old one looks bad, but i assure you it woks great.When i'm moving a lot of dirt i put a 1000 pnd. block of steel on it.,AS for the 35, I love mine, been a great tractor and will do a lot of work if you have the right implements. I have a 2000 ford with a allied loader but i like the 35 the best. Thank you for your interest and complement cheers-ed
