Hello All!
I have come to ask you how you mow your larger plots of land. We have a homestead on six acres that needs mowed weekly. We seem to go through lawn mowers like crazy! I am currently using a Troybilt garden tractor - 22 h.p. 46" deck and a Craftsman lawn tractor - 16.5 h.p. 42" deck. These are the newest ones. I have two more with bad engines that constantly needed structural repairs.
Since I can not afford a tractor and attachments, this is what I am stuck with. DH has been looking at the reel mowers that attach to the back of the mower. They can go up to 9' wide! Does anyone have these? Do they cut through dandelions and clover?
I do not want a zero turning radius mower as I need something to haul around my wagons. (overly priced too in my opinion)
The Troybilt was given to me - it is 4 years old with 32.6 hours on it (thanks dad!) and I bought the Craftsman last summer with only one season of use for $500. I really do not want to use something that will use more of that liquid gold called GAS!
Any and all suggestions or comments are welcome!
