I currently have an Allis B with a Woods belly mower to move 5 hilly acres with 20-30 trees/bushes. 1st gear with the throttle maxed has seemed like the best combo of ground/blade speed. Takes me 4-5 hours to get it done. With sharp blades and tweaking/maintenance on the Woods, it does a nice job of it and has for almost twenty years. Getting to the point where the Allis and the mower deck are going to need an overhaul.
I"ve also got a Massey 202 (Industrial version of a 35) with a back-blade and factory loader for snow, grading the drive, and everything else that comes with an acreage.
I"ve been looking at mid- and front-mount 60-72 zero-turn mowers. The increased forward/straight line mowing speed is very tempting. The zero-turn is nice, but not critical. I've got a pond dam with a face that's just steep enough to make me iffy on a zero turn vice a tractor mower
Just saw a 2006 Kubota B2630 on Craigslist with a backhoe, 72" mid-mower, 63" snowblower, and loader. Diesel, 4x4, power steering, 211 hours.
I"m wondering if I"d be better off selling both my old rigs in exchange for the Kubota package plus a box blade for the drive.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
