Default Lawn Tractor Suggestions (again)

I went through Greencastle IN and there is a Kabota dealer there. He has
about 20 Tractors setting around equiped all ways. He was cleaning a 9
inch snow off with a Dixie Chopper.

Sorry if this is repetitive, but I subscribed to this NG just recently.

I will be moving to NE Connecticut the beginning of next year, and I will
need a good all round lawn tractor.

I'll be on 4.5 acres, a good portion of it cleared (grass). I'd also like
to be able to snow plow, as the driveway is paved and about 200 ft. long.
I'll probably want to have a hitch and trailer as well, as so I can make it
a good all round multi purpose vehicle for hauling things like firewood as
well as other things around the yard.

I'd like to get some practical opinions on some different brands and models.
This is new territory for me (never had to use more then a 5 hp push mover),
though I am mechanically inclined so maintenance doesn't worry me.

Thanks in advance.




A lot that big reequires two machines.
For mowing I would select the John Deere Commercial 60 in deck or
equivelent that has good ground speed as a minimum. You don't want to
spend 2 days a week mowing.
A good small 25 hp tractor should handel the other items. Stick with the
Deere.

Thanks. I'll take it under advisement.
