Hello John Depends much on your pocket.A nice well serviced used mower Take the grass boxes off the back and it will pull a handy little trailer good for all things food hay and straw in Muck produce out to say nothing of all the running about with fence posts and tools etc.I have allways hated work and the easier I can make it the better.No need to go over the top.Next season because you have been able to do a few more things this time you may be able to increase
