Sounds to me like you are trying to clear a field that was never mower or farmed for years and with that mower if you try to put it on a tractor the size you are wanting you will BUST up that mower first time out with it because and 5 foot mower that will fit the Ford is only made as a 50 horse power capability mower and that is just about what you have as your Ford is 48 horsepower. And if you do get it mowed this year what are your plans for the ground in the future as with what it sounds like you are trying to mow it will never make any hay without a good tillage job and reseeding it. So then what are you going to be needing the mower for? You cannot make sale ability hay with that mower. The only time I had power problems with a 52 horse Ford was when in unlevel ground I would hit the ground with the mower blade. And I have mowed down heavy enough stuff with a 5' mower like that that I had to back into because could not drive over with a 39 Horse tractor with NO live power or power steering. And your Ford has the capibility to do the tillage work to get a good hay crop, just not do all the tillage in one day. and it would handle every thing you need to make the hay of that amount of ground. It will handle a square baler with no problem and even some round balers as some here on this site do with that size tractor. If you go with the round baler go for the 4 x 4' bale as I believe you will be able to sell that size a lot better than the 6 x 6' bale as a lot of the people that would be interested in the amount of hay you could have for sale would not have enough livestalk to utilize the big bale or have the way to handle it. You are talking about having to lay out enough money to get what you are dreaming about and it will never pencil out cost wise. And if you are too short of time to use the smaller machinery you are still going to be that too short of time for the big high priced things.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
