I'm about to purchase a new tractor and have been searching for some type of tractor selector guide, but have found nothing. I realize these "help me select a tractor" threads are probably a bit repetitive...but I'm going to ask your advice anyway.
I have 5 acres, about 3.5 in horse pasture, and about 1.5 acres around the house. I finish mow with a regular Cub Cadet riding mower. I will be using my new tractor to mow, move manure, remove snow and occasionally move stone for my driveway.
My feeling is that if I want to replace my current riding mower that I could do everything with a BX, however, it feels a little underpowered for snow removal and the FEL doesn't have as much lift capacity. I'm worried the B series will be to large for finish mowing around the house. My thought was to maybe go with a smaller B like a 2320 or 2620, and try to do everything with that, but my concern is that it will be too large for finish mowing.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
