Thanks for all the replies. I really appreciate the collective wisdom and insight of the very knowledgable and helpful members of this forum.
This morning I hooked the bush hog up to the John Deere 2020 and could not get the PTO clutch to work. It worked fine without the mower attached. The owner said he always just shut the tractor off, pushed in the clutch, engaged the PTO and started the tractor. He has owned it for about ten years and used it that way, but I believe that is not a great idea. I am not really a tinkerer and am afraid of potential large repair bills, so I am leaning heavily toward the 4WD Kubota. The cab with AC would be a plus because my son, who will do a lot of the mowing, cannot work in the heat of the day due to a medical condition. I really do like the feel of the heavier 2020, however. My State Farm homeowner's policy specifically excludes coverage of "motor propelled vehicle or machine designed for movement on land unless it is used solely to service the insured location." This tractor was not at my home, but a couple of miles away on some other property I own. I will definitely get a rider naming the replacement tractor. Hard lesson learned! Thanks, Steve Wyatt
