The original subject was "Re: Super A belly mower vs newer residential mower".
Greetings all,
I have several full size farm tractors on my beef cattle farm here in Northern VA and am on the hunt for a small tractor suitable for mowing my mostly open and flat 3 acre yard and for trimming up around my shop. My ancient Lowes riding mower with 46 inch cut has served me well but is worn out and I have to replace it. I have looked at new riders and unless you have a big pocketbook they are plastic junk with thin wall metal decks. I am wa ting a farmall A, Super A or a Cub with a 5 foot Wwods mower. Or possibly an Allis A, B, or C with the same. My main concern is weight because part if the yard has the septic tank drain field in it and Daddy told me not to run anything heavy over that part of the yard. I have researched the pros and cons and have decided on one of the above me tioned tractors. Which one is the best choice.
Thanks in advance.
