snopro31 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Needing to address my needs of snow plowing and cutting grass for this winter and next year. Have the potential for a lot of grass or about 2 acres. Pretty flat yard. However, also have quiet the lane to plow in the winter. And I live in an area where if it snows it dumps or it wont snow worth a shit. Anyway. Went looking at lawn mowers but somewhat swayed toward a tractor. So I could get a riding mower and a quad with a plow for around 20k with tax. or A 2016 Koiti 22hp diesel tractor with a underbelly mower, pto, a front bucket. 20,500 with tax. Stuck on the logical thing to do. But with 80 acres the tractor would prob be a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieselgeek Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Tractor. I would go much larger with 80 acres though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 18, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 18, 2016 Reality is should be an easy decision based on what you need. If you have a lot of jobs to do that the tractor can do then that's the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your tractor just got a lot more expensive. You'll now need one with a belly mower, brush mower, loader, 3pt snowblower, 3pt blade, and probably a few fun things too, like a tiller.

I hate owing and I got this place 2 years early cause the number of acreages are dwindling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mileage Psycho Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'd hire someone to cut the grass and buy a blade for your truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
