CT225 Bobcat with Loader and R4's
So we sold the house on 6 acres we used to have. And bought a bigger one with 20 acres and a small lake, its all pasture except the house and the lake, I have a 225 with a 6' flail mower that i have been using but was wondering if i need more tractor? mowing all the grass even only a few times a year is taking mulitple days. Was thinking I need a 10+foot cutter? any suggestions on tractor and cutter? i love my 225 but it just doesnt seem up to the task Im asking of it

My biggest fear for you would be the beating you will take on you 225 if your going to trade it in.
Are you still in Mo?
I have a smoken deal on a CT450 demo.
Pm or call me if you want to talk.

I heard of a guy with same problem,so he went and bought a bigger cutter[wider cutter,more cut with each pass he knew],so he went and bought a bigger cutter and tractor front end went up in air,,so he had to buy a bigger tractor to fit the cutter,,

If you got the money buy what you want,but is there anything the smaller tractor does that a bigger one might not work to well on? But,money solves many problems.

yeah money solves everything, i only use the tractor in the pasture so i cant think of anything the smaller one would do better, and its stored in a large barn that has plenty of room in it. i would love to be able to mow with it, but its to heavy for the lawn and leaves ruts so that out.
