Going to be needing one soon. New house is almost done. Turning cow pasture into yard. I have 10 acres but will be trying to improve only about 4 acres. I have a borrowed brush hog and tractor for now but I can't keep it forever and the rest of the houses on the street have really nice yards so the hogs cut quality won't cut it for long. My father in law has a residential grade JD that is at least 4 seasons old. He says it needs a new deck which is around $900. He uses it for mowing vacant lots that he owns so it is well used. So might be too used up to justify fixing. He has a new residential grade hustler he likes but will probably use up quick like he did his JD. What do you guys think?
