Thanks to all for the good input.

I may actually continue the field mowing with my Hustler as I am now. The bush hog (if I even get one) could be used for other jobs if I pick them up. The main objective is to maintain the road for now.

I also priced the Mahindra 1526 shuttle with FEL today. It has a bigger frame (1900lbs vs 2500lbs) over the TYM. Same exact engine. I am going to demo both before I pull the trigger as the joy sticks are in different locations and as one salesman said, they are not going to get more comfortable in a year so you better like the feel when you buy it the first time.

1526 shuttle with FEL, 7yr warranty: $17,000 (may not be best price yet)
T234 hydro with FEL, 6yr warranty: $14,200

I just can't justify going any bigger than this or any more HP. I may be persuaded if you send me a personal letter with some cash inside though. :laughing:

I have never heard of TYM, but to me, 19 pto hp sounds low for a 5' brush hog.

I have a 25 hp (18 hp pto) LS scut and run a 6' finish mower just fine. Don't go real fast, but it works. The TYM would do just fine
