Working on the new home for the GMC. (and us) Cuttin alot of grass due to sellers bad health. Don't have title yet but soon. It takes a very long time to cut 5+ acres with a 48" and a 26" snapper runnin at the same time. Found a 1210 with a 4' belly. They had 5' as an option. Any one had experance with the Ford 1200 series??? (1200,1210,1220),,,,would prefer a 6' cut but anything to large (tractor) won't be runnin while I'm at work. And I want it to run when I'm not there,,,,,thanks,,,,PL

My brother got one of those commercial mower units you see with the two handles for steering and have a zero turning radius.
Built tough and used are reasonably cheap. He wore out a normal lawn tractor in like 2 years.
I don't remember the name....dang CRS
He also has 2 real tractors and likes this a lot better for lawn mowing, the the bruch hog behind a farm all does have it's uses!

Don't be too sure a tractor won't be running when you're not there. In
'98/'99 when I was rebuilding the GMC at my uncle's 49 acre "play farm", SHE
got bored and began to drive the Kubota tractor (probably bigger than you're
considering) with a 6' bush hog to cut the grass on the "recreation areas"
and the roads. Seemed to enjoy it, but made a comment to my uncle one
summer day that it was a hot, dusty job. Shortly thereafter he bought a
bigger Kubota with a 7' bush hog -- and air conditioned cab. :-)
We still use it and call it "Elaine's $31,000 lawn mower". He's gone now,
but the farm has grown to 250 acres so it's really handy to have.
