[Farmall] Old iron - missing the point?

  JM, As a conservationist, I would suggest you talk to your state wildlife
managers. There are a vast number of reasons why you should not mow that
lowland bordering the creek. In fact there is a program that pays you to
leave it, called "boundary strips". You can learn about that at the USDA
site. Perhaps you can also plant native grasses in that pasture and have a
spot for other wildlife. Or even plant a food plot that would benefit the
deer.

  While I am not selling my LoBoy, there are many Cubs and "8n"-types
around here.  I would think, however, that Rochester, New York is  too far
from Vermont to suit your "kid brother".
  Maybe a 154 (or so) would be a good match if the deck was in the 60"
range.  Much smaller will make for very long mowing days if he is  cutting
all of the 11 acres.  I use belly-mounted 60" decks and  (for the fields) I
have a 72" rear finish mower and a Mott flail.   I mow something on the
order of 20 acres...some of which is "yard",  some of which is pasture, some
of which is low land, bordered by a  creek.

who just built a house on 11 acres in Vermont is on the
fence about buying an old tractor to mow and move snow.  He is unsure about
the reliability/value of getting a 30+ year old tractor. and doesn't' want
to spend a lot of money  Even after he got my $500 20+ year old truck stuck
in the mud and I pulled it our with my $1500 50+ year old Cub (twice).

Anybody got any ideas?
Anybody got any Cub lowboy's (or similar) for sale near Montpelier, Vt.?
