I too just bought 10.5 acres located in Texas. I am 6'6" so I decided to go with an older but bigger tractor - a Ford 4000. Then I purchase a 6ft shredder and am VERY pleased with the performance of the entire setup. I had just one (actually twice) incident where I didnt realize how the left and right rear brakes are used for assisting in power turns. I ended up putting my tractor in the private lake and the more I struggled to get it out, the deeper I became. Anyway, that and the subsequent story were quickly remedied when my neighbor(s) came down with their 4X4 truck and tractor and chains to help me FISH mine out of the water. In any case, Ive learned the value in practicing on my tractor first, then selecting the right implements to mow with...... Im going to buy one of those cutters that works off of the pto and looks like giant hedge clippers to cut along the edge of the lake and not risk dumping my tractor into the water again.......... what do you think? Am I on the right track?
