Okay, here's the scenerio, my boss is in his mid 80's. He still loves getting out there and doing the hay with me. But the past couple of years has seen a decline in his overall strength. His tractor of choice among what we have is a Ford 2110 and he has trouble with the clutch after a few hours. Leg just gets too tired. He is also starting to have trouble getting up onto it and down from it. This is very frustrating for him and I'm trying to find a way to keep him going. I had mentioned to him that a hydrostatic drive type compact tractor might be the ticket. Thing is, I'm not up on what would be the best one to check into. I'm not color blind, so am open to all suggestions. Small is fine. All he needs is something that will work with a NH 5 foot sickle bar, NH 256 Rolabar rake, and a 4 foot brush hog. I looked at a small Farmpro yesterday and liked what I saw, but would like opinions from you folks. By the way, I did check with the NH dealer and the prices made me back away real quick, so alternatives is what I'm checking into here.
Thanks, Ron
