I'm a long distance truck driver, looking forward to my retirement in 31 months, to spend more time on my 16 acres near Springfield!

I have moved here a bit over three years ago, and bought a little SCUT TLB, Was looking for a much larger TLB, but in the early spring of 2022, not much available to pick from ... Got a new Massey Ferguson GC 1725 MB, and quite a lot of attachments - My Little Baby Fergie has been an AMAZING little Swiss Army Knife Tractor!

For being gone as much as I am, she has quite a few hours on her ... From last month ... Got more now!

I also got a John Deere Z-TRAK Z960M, known as the Gas/Grass Hog! It gets the job done, even if I've been on the road for a few weeks!

I've been using it to cut what use to be my front 6 acres hayfield, plus the 1.5 acres around the house ... It cuts much better, and faster than Little Baby Fergie! (I left a uncut strip in the middle to compare cut quality, trying to figure out if I wanted another finish mower, or try a flail?)

I just picked up a Kubota L5030 HSTC for cutting the grass ... The side & back pasture is a bit tougher, and the tiny tires on my other grass cutters were uncomfortable to me bouncing along, even though the JD had a optional suspension seat, I decided bigger tires would help, the cab would help keep me farther away from the poison ivy, and bugs, and shield me from the sun, A/C is nice too!😁

Hiding in the barn for now . . .

Still need to save more pennies for a 8' finish mower ... In the meantime I plan to buff it up, and service it, plus ad window tint ...

I'm on a few other tractor forums with same user name, but a couple have been using to much AI (fake useless intelligence) for my liking, giving them a break ...!

Hi Shawn,

Welcome here. I see the other forum you've been on so much seems to be dying. :(

Nice new addition, but don't let "Baby Fergie" languish.

Regards, Dick

Thank you all!

Just getting old and cantankerous Dick, don't care for there useless forum bots and useless tags of how many are viewing each thread ... Too many distractions for me, hope you and your Fergie are doing well!

Hey Shawn, good to see you here now as well as the other forums; did you just buy that Kubota? How did I miss that? What a great machine. I spent my teen years on an L3830 GST, I really enjoyed using it.
