It has more than enough power.  I have pulled fourth in some really heavy
weeds and it goes right through.  It is a good running tractor but I think
it was stored for a while.  I am fixing little things on it as we go along.

I am looking for a sickle bar mower in the southern Missouri area but none
have shown up on the auction bills or Craigs list for Springfield.  I am
also looking for a box blade but one may be available less that a quarter
mile from here.
