I'm concerned that the ZT might hit a rut or a soft spot and roll into the lake with me pinned under it. Definitely not how I want to depart this realm.

Sorry for the delay, gang. We're only out there on the weekends to maintain and upgrade the property and during the week we're back in town, getting our current house ready to sell. With a multi-hour drive in-between, it's an exhausting pace. Fortunately, the weather cooperated enough this past...

Ha! I'll see if I can fly my drone all around the lake (when the weather cooperates, that is) to get a better perspective on the embankment.

Here are a some pictures showing primarily the embankment surrounding the lake. These are the areas that I'm most reluctant to cut with the ZT mower, lest I tumble into the water!

I'll dig up some pictures to post.

AH, yes. There definitely could be gardening. And possibly some edible things just for the family. When I think "farming," I think amber waves of grain or giant fields of corn hiding crop circles and Stephen King characters.

I need to carefully walk my property and take note of the size of the foliage that surrounds the lake* and see how robust the foliage is, and do the same for the trees and scrub at the edge of the property. That will tell me which boom mower is best and go from there. (*ok, I'm tired of this...

This is fabulous information, folks. Thank you. To address some earlier posts: I plan on doing zero farming. It's all about maintaining, modifying, and enjoying the land. We have areas fenced by the previous owners that would lend themselves to baby goats or some other critters, which we might...

Thanks! I plan on keeping the ZT mower because I feel like a kid driving it, for some reason. The wife may ultimately enjoy using it, too. Right now, I see myself owning the ZT and a tractor with a host of implements. Some implements I'll want to own and some might be needed rarely enough that I...

That's a big question I have: How to best avoid a situation where attaching/swapping an attachment is more trouble than it's worth? For example, if it takes me an hour of sweating, lifting, and cursing to put pallet forks on for a 15 minute task, then the pallet forks aren't really worth it.

I need to start my education by understanding all the terms and acronyms. I go to "Build my xxx" and the features and options make little sense to me right now. MMM? SSQA? Online search, here I come...

This does help. Thank you. Your list of activities sounds much like what I anticipate doing. I've looked at the LX3310HSDC and it's high on my list of contenders. I was wondering if 30.8 hp is sufficient.

I'll store it in my workshop. I have a 2,400 sf detached shop with a very high (12 foot?) roll-up door.

If y’all can tolerate another “newbie wanting to buy a tractor” thread, I could really use some advice. My wife and I have just purchased 27 acres in east Texas. After decades of suburbia we are planning on retiring there soon and I’m definitely feeling the need for something orange. The options...
