Held a funeral service last fall for our 46" riding mower. Explored many options for its replacement. 1.) 72" finish mower to pull with New Holland 40hp tractor. 2) Zero turn mower. 3) 48-52" riding mower. Opted for #3. Because the mowing can be done by 14-year old and 12-year old. My wife's...

While running the brush hog, I hit a decent size rock. The unit on the shaft of my "Bush Hog-Squealer" broke where it attaches to the pto of the tractor. What is that part? Is it difficult to replace my self? How much does it cost? Other than avoiding the rock, what can I do to avoid this...

Like many others I am looking for advice. 1-2 times a year I rent a Kubota 4130 ( 4 cylinder). Now I am looking to buy. I am considering either a 3830 or a 4330. Here is my situation. I own 60 acres - mostly wooded. Ten acres are open pasture and the misses has 4 horses. I need to brush hog...
