IF you go with the rear mower you can have both a bush hog for clearing and a finish/estate mower for the grassy areas. You can pick up a used finish mower at decent prices, cuts more like a mower than either a hog or flail.Don't think you'll be happy cutting grass with a hog.

I have an M9540 Kubota I wanted a 60 HP but was talked into the 95HP. I am sure glad that I have the 95 instead of the 60 and sometimes I wish it was enlarger but not often
I also added 1050 pounds of rear wheel weights because a full load on the loader needs more weight in the rear. Also have water in the rear tires
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

Yes indeed, good info that I appreciate. Still thinking L2501, but BIL had a B7800 30HP but smaller and much lighter, about 1K#'s. Wondering which would be best. Lawn mowing is going to be at least 60% of the deal. Not golf course lawn, some grass and perhaps weeds, about 5 acres. I know if I go lighter it will be less capable lifting etc. No idea the if the lighter tractor would leave ruts as well. Maybe a zero turn is in the future, but trying to be cheap..

That’s a steal. Made in Germany. I spent a lot of hours on an 820 growing up. Great tractors.

New Holland sells more tractors than any other maker in the world. That's a pretty fuzzy metric. As a single brand, I'd be shocked if New Holland sold more units worldwide. I'd even be surprised if CNH across brands sold the most units worldwide. 50% of the global tractor market is in India and China. India being the number one consumer and China being number two. And they are made by ls

I'd like a lower gear than the 8N offers, however. But for the most part,.. a tractor is just a toy for me. It's not like I'm farming.

8n is a good garden tractor, as long as you don't have to work it

Unnerving to have it running next to your head when you have it lifted making turns. Low gear is high as hell, you’re right.
