[Timber]

This 1 will cut blades of grass 2 inches in diameter

is it a sybian?

[Bouncer]

how much is the tractor and the mower if you don't mind me asking? $15-$20k?

[Mr I]

blades of grass 2 inch? what do you mean bro?

you must have a big garden

[Timber]

The Tractor is a Kubota B7800, It is a 30 horse 4 cylinder diesel. The base price when I bought it almost 2 years ago was $16,300 with the loader. The brush mower was $1,600. But then you start adding on all the goodies and it goes up and up. I am into it for over 30 grand now but there is a lot more to it than what you see there.

My garden is not that big really but I do have horses, This is a Brush Cutter is a Landpride and I bought it blaze trailers into the woods. It will cut sapling's up to 2" and field grass 3 feet tall. I also Have a grapple for the loader that can pick up trees to log and load into my truck. I do not have it mounted hear.

The Tractor and mower alone is about $20 grand

Hear it is with a Post Hole Digger



Fork lift & tooth bar, In the background of this picture is the edge of 160 + acres of woods



This is the grapple

[Mr I]

looks pretty cool, I'd spend all weekend on that

LOL trust me it is a lot of fun, just a big boy toy but I get a lot done that would take years to do without it. I probably use it as a forklift more than anything

[gymratin]

ill stick to my $300 push mower - looks good though timber

[Bouncer]

good guess by me! 20k! we had riding mowers like Scag's and Dixie Choppers when my dad had his landscaping company. they were like 15 grand so thats how i know. those things went like 30mph! lol

[Timber]

Yup it does 29 MPH in High range. I don't think I want to cut a field thats fast though. Might be hard staying in the seat. This model will also take a belly mower. It has a center PTO as well as the rear. I would be lost without this thing now. This is the same set up you see cutting the interstate without the loader. In fact the entire loader comes off in minutes

[Bouncer]

nice country you live in. you would probably shoot yourself if you had to live in my area.

You might be surprised. I do love where I am today and that is my choice because life has seen fit to give me the opportunity or I manipulated it that way who knows. I have been a city dweller and enjoyed that too. I spent many years in Hollywood Ca working for Paramount. I also have a female friend that lives in those high rise condos over there in Seacaucus. Nice place over there. City dwelling has many advantages the country life doesn't have but I can say I have lived in both worlds & like them both for different reasons. In the end I love the critters and the wood. It is a lot of work but somehow seems worth it.
