I recently purchased 7 acres that will be the future site of my families home. It is being tended by a farmer now, but when my home is built I plan to have seven acres of lawn to mow. I am wet behind the ears when it comes to tractors, so I'm posting this to get some help. I would like to think I could mow this with the right eqiptment in about an hour (minus trim work). Through my research on the web, I'm thinking about a rear implemented mower (around 72") rear discharge. My question is what kind of tractor to purchase. It would primarly be used for mowing, but also using a box blade, maybe a small bush hog. Also I think I would rather buy a used tractor at a more affordable price. What do I need to look for in a good used tractor. How many hours is to many hours.
