Upstate SC
Just found this forum. I have 2 acres of mostly lawn that needs major improvement (lawn chem company killed 40% using something a little too harsh for centipede grass, wish me luck getting them to do anything). I have an easily strained back so looking for help in 'lifting' things. I have a 2000 sq ft shop and looking to add a stone border around the 180 ft perimeter. I have some 'gardens' with either landscape block or large, milk crate sized stones as borders to either be removed or reconfigured. Mowing isn't an issue as I have a zero turn and a push mower for any tight spots.
I am in the upstate of South Carolina on relatively flat land south of Greenville. Hard ground usually but being mostly clay ruts up easily in the wet, and the ruts set like concrete when they dry.
Spoke to one of the few dealers in the area and his suggestion was the LX2620, possibly because he had one, not sure if they had the B. He did have a couple of BX2380?? that he suggested would be adequate.
Other brands besides JD don't really seem to be an option around here unless I go the big box, brand of the day, generic route.

So, any ideas, suggestions or experiences to share?
