Ok, out of Red's must read thread on deceptive marketing and lawn tractor quality I got an idea for another thread. What is the biggest case of tractor overkill you've ever seen? In Red's thread he mentions a guy mowing a 1/2 acre with a JD X700 series, and another poster mentions a similar circumstance.
I was driving along this winter after one of our frequent snowstorms and everyone was out with their blowers clearing their drives. I pass this little house on a tiny lot and there in the driveway is a guy with his Kubota garden tractor with a 48" (or more) shaft drive snowblower attachment on the front. I swear this is true, the driveway is no more than 20' by 30'. Two cars long and two cars wide. The tractor practically filled the driveway just sitting there.
Personally, I suppose it's overkill that I bought an old JD 316 to tow my plug aerator, and I bought an integral hitch even though I don't have any attachments for it, but someday I plan to do more with it.
