Depending on how level your sod is, will kinda determine just how big a deck
you can efficiently use.  I use a 54, 60, and 72 decks..and wish I had a
144" (some day) flex wing.  I've also got some 40-48".  The smaller they
are, the less scalping they do, over stating the obvious, eh ?  My front
decks are the most efficient at mowing and trimming around stuff.. 2X as
fast as a tractor belly deck.  Money is going to play a big factor in your
compromise as it does all of us. I can tell you  that a compact tractor will
be invaluable if you have an acreage needing mowing, rock and soil moving,
tree planting/removal, etc.  a 3 pt finish mower on the back will be easy to
hook up and quick to use.. mows the big areas fast.  Get a smaller front
deck for around the house , circling the trees for the trimming,  the CUT
will let you mount a tiller, etc for all those home improvement dirt related
projects as well. log splitter for firewood.. the list is endless and goes
on and on.  Plus the little diesel will have enough power to run a generator
on the pto so you can have power during the ice storm outages..

 

I agree the JD green paint will be the highest priced.. the Kubota and kioti
are good values.. mahinda has a good rep, and the bobcat cut's are built by
kioti.  I'm big on the hydro trans for ease of use for both you and Dorothy.

 

How many acres with the house ?  do you have a hard surface road adjoining ?
and hard  surface driveway ? city or rural water ?  nat gas, propane or elec
?  

 

Hey, we're all living vicariously thru your epic move <G>

Congrats Frank, sorry I missed the first emails about your finding a place.
Funny how things don't always get noticed until you stand there awhile or
someone points them out :-)

movers don't charge to get themselves home.  Our mover was from NC, I cannot
imagine paying his return trip.  

 

Good to hear you found a great house.  Not like we didn't tell you so or
nuttin'.  Your neighbor's dogs will not protect their big bag of purina at
your house. Neighbors are like the lottery - I hope you got winners.  

 

that multiple listing No??????

Yeah, Ya see, the way they are looking at it is that it's 50 there and 50
back. Then double that because they leave the pod, and return to pick it up
at another time. Sooooooooo ............. it's a total of 200 miles over
estimate. 


Update on the inspection:
  The house was incredible, the home inspector and I could not find anything
that needs to be addressed. I was shocked at all the upgrades he did that we
did not notice  the first go around. It is an excellent value, and shows to
be worth every penny.
   We don't need a dog as we were visited by the neighbors two dogs, very
friendly, and we don't have to feed them. LOL 

  The only unknown factor at this point are the neighbors themselves, I
guess we will find that out when we are moved in.
