in that thin grass it would handle it much faster, but then it would cut down on the fun of playing with the new tractor,
the fred cain cutter is from danville ky and they make a great liitle machine, i have its grandfather the same mower except mine is old enough to have the shear bolts and not the slip clutch, i have used it to help cut 100 acres with both fall and summer for years and it still works great
i have made my mind up, that if i buy another new 50hp or less tractor that it will be a new mahindra, they are all made somewhere over seas and have been for years and i like the 25 series, i came close to buying the 3525 a couple of years back at a price of $8500, but decided i could not justify the expenditure, and ever since i have given a great deal of consideration to selling my 1999 john deere 5210 with 700 hours and buying a comparable mahindra and pocketing the difference, i can tell you that without a doubt i like driving the little hindu farmall, a lot better than i do the john deere, not to mention i like the sheetmedal hood better than the fiberglass ones
ps did i mention that they build tractors under contract for john deere,
check out the 03 series,
