Hello All,
Just after a bit of advice re machinery. Thus far, we've had a garden the size of a postage stamp but on Friday, we move to a four acre-ish plot.
The paddock (about 2 acres) has been sprayed, ploughed, harrowed, reseeded etc for the horses to move into later in the year. However, when the house has been rebuilt, the gardens are going to be about 2 acres. We're planning a manege (eventually) and an orchard (complete with chickens) with wild flowers for about 3/4 acre and a large kitchen garden. The rest will be laid to lawn. In theory, we'll need something that'll do the occasional topping and chain-harrowing of paddock, leveling of manege and cutting the lawns. I don't need billiard-table lawn finish, but I also don't want something that's going to take forever. Should we go down the sit-on mower, compact tractor or quad bike and implements route? The grounds are all completely level.
Any advice would be much appreciated, I don't think the old Flymo is going to cut it
Thankies
