LOML & I were in Fargo on thursday at the anual farm show called BIG IRON. We are thinking about a new yard tractor and we found one we like. What do you think?http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=10515&stc=1

Dave,
I've only got 5 acres. I don't think I could even turn that monster around in my yard. On the other hand I bet I could mow the whole thing in less than 20 minutes.

A couple of pass's over your lawn and you won't have to worry about mowing again. :D There won't be any grass left. :eek:

I think it would be great fun to pull that big red machine into my 3/4 acre lot and start mowing. Can you imagine the look on the neighbors' faces?

Just checked in with Case IH and found that they don't make a mower deck for this model. Oh darn.

Yeah, but you should see the size of the mower deck you can front-mount on that!

Actually, those tracks exert LESS ground pressure per square area than a similar weight of wheeled tractor, so it would probably do little to no damage to grass without some sort of destructive attachment.

It's kind of like this question my physics prof once posed: Which would you rather have step on your foot, a 120lb lady in spike heels, or a 4000lb elephant?

Hey David

The Quad Track is ok but you need to swing over to Jackson MN and talk to the AGCO boys about a CATERPILLAR MT800. Now thats a tractor!!!!!!!!!!!!
