    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...

    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?

    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?

    I read that used to farmers had to know how to repair their equipment or at least they had a good shot at being able to do it. Otoh, I heard that about cars too. But, cars are pretty hard to work on lots of times now because of computers. Is tractor repair like modern cars? Pretty hard to...

    Does the John Deere mid mount mower auto connect work reliably?

    Does it really work and do so reliably? It's not just marketing is it? Does the competition have the same capabilities?

    Can I plow a garden with only a tiller attachment on new, never plowed, rough ground?

    I saw some people with a dic and plow and a tiller attachment, and I saw some with only the rototiller attachment. Some had been plowed before, others not. Can I use only a rototiller attachment for a 1 acre never before plowed ground that probably has some roots and lots of rocks, but nice dirt?

    Something I don't understand about applications of below 40hp tractors

    I read you don't plough with any tractor under 40hp. At least maybe not on a new unworked field. Don't know if that's right, but it is what I have been reading on more than one site. If you don't have a front loader or a lawn cutting pull behind implement, what do you use them for? For...

    Can all tractors flip over easy?

    I thought about buying an older tractor like an 8N, but then I started reading about them flipping over. I'm sure you can use common sense be pretty safe, but I got to thinking that maybe all tractors could flip? Was looking for advice on safety. I was thinking I probably need a sub compact...
