    Can you cut the grass with a brush mower? A regular yard

    I was thinking about getting a DR Brush Cutter. But can it also cut regular lawns? I'm not in a neighborhood but I still have to cut regular grass in my front yard. Will it work like a regular push mower and get lowel enough, or will it only work like for bushhogging stuff? By that I just...

    Do you get a better deal if you get everything at once?

    Like if I buy a tractor and mower but not the loader or tiller. If I don't need them now but want the option later, am I losing a lot of money by waiting? I've seen a few deals where they want you to buy "qualifying" implements, but it's not a big enough savings to put a dent in the price per...

    I'm in shock... Kubota BX pricing

    I saw these used for a good price. 2005 and above I think. Do you think a used one is still a good thing compared to used bx models? I almost can't bare the price of new.

    Have you ever bought a tractor from a listing in another state, not in person?

    Have you ever bought a tractor from a site like tractorhouse or some other site without seeing it in person? I've seen good deals and I'm willing to travel to pick it up, but shouldn't I drive it first? Not like id know if it was a bad unit anyway but still. Is it pretty common to buy like...

    What size earth auger bit do you use for a 4x4 fence post?

    I've seen 3x the size online but nobody seems to do that in real life. What size bit would you use for a 4x4 post? I will use either concrete or the foam stuff, probably the foam, so maybe the hole should be smaller diameter?

    Do any year-end sales actually have any good deals?

    Is that all hype? Do any of the tractor dealers really give you a better deal than they would have six months earlier?

    How old a tractor would you go if you require a front end loader?

    That makes sense. I saw references to Fredericks Yanmar on tractorhouse and wondered what that was. Thanks!

    New Tractor prices, how fast have things escalated?

    I've been waiting for the big turndown or economic destruction for decades. I guess 2008 was one. What happens in a few weeks? Do you mean because the year ends?

    How old a tractor would you go if you require a front end loader?

    Tbh, I actually found several Ford 5610 models for sale with loader. All 2wd is what I found, but it weighs almost 6k pounds. I don't know who'd work on it, but I sure do like the look of it. I know it's a big tractor and all but the tractor police won't come get me or anything.

    How old a tractor would you go if you require a front end loader?

    How would you factor in MFWD? Do you think it would be ok? AWD is the only reference I can think of, but AWD is different across manufacturers in cars. Subaru Foresters have pretty good off road capability. Other AWD cars not so much. Tractors I don't know.

    How old a tractor would you go if you require a front end loader?

    I Honestly I don't know what that means, but it was a starting point because I was looking at 40hp or less. I don't think I need or could afford more. Over 1k is better. I was trying to be barebones.

    How old a tractor would you go if you require a front end loader?

    I've seen some of the older tractors with a front loader. They look rickety. I don't expect old to look brand new, but since I require a front loader, how old a tractor with a loader would you consider. For the sake of argument, please suppose the tractor itself is in good working condition...

    Is modern tractor repair like modern car repair and super complicated requiring a dealer?

    Thanks. I'm scared of getting a lemon on older ones is all. New ones have warranties, expensive, but they have them. I wouldn't know if someone was ripping me off or not.
