I've been lurking here for a while, this is an extremely helpful forum. From JDFanatic, to Mayor, to KHodges (who answered a question for me on PM already), to slkpk, and so many others: THANK YOU. You've really helped a complete tractor newbie understand a whole lot of things.
In the Seattle area, we get a bit of rain. Where "bit" means "a whole bunch". So I need a lawn cutting tool that will deal with thick, heavy, wet, and (since my lawn grows so fast) somewhat long grass. I need to bag, especially in the heavy growth seasons. This is about 3/4 acre of grass.
There are also the "projects", as well.
My thoughts are to get a JD X300R for just mowing, and a 2305 for everything else. A TLB with snowblower (long driveway), plug aerator, spreader, and sprayer.
A question for all you experts: can the snowblower, backhoe and loader be stored outdoors? If so where can I get a good covering for them?
Thanks again all of you!
