Well after 16 years of push mowing my 2 1/2 acres....I bought a green thing...My antique tractors [Farmalls] ain't real happy....Its small ,green and noisy!!!Plus they have to share space with it...My Bikes don't seem to mind it...They figure I'll get more time with them...Says its a LA115..42" cut 19hp single popper...and best of all...lever engagement!!!! I hate them eletric PTO's.....got a great deal on it...My buddy said it was takin up space in his garage....Kevin $:{_}:$ $:{_}:$ $:{_}:$ $:{_}:$ $:{_}:$ $:{_}:$ $:{_}:$ $:{_}:$

Wow, 2 1/2 acres with a push mower. I bet your feet are going to love the John Deere also.

And it is not flat. Slopes in, at least, three directions. And Ketcham always kept it looking nice. :thumbsup:

It's hard to do a good job with a green machine. Driving with a bag over my head, so the neighbors wouldn't recognize me, causes some skips.

Be sure to include some Cubfests in those travels.

Kill the grass and turn it over a year early. Keep it grass and weed free for a year before planting. This will give you some time to get soil tests done and amend the soil as needed for garden use.
