Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the site, new to country living and new to lawn tractors. Our little walk-behind is not gonna cover the 6 acres we just purchased! We're told it's a "mini-farm" or "hobby-farm" - that's new to us too!

We've looked at a used Kubota - 1998 B2100HST for $5500. Seems like a good price? No attachments. Doesn't start every time - owner doesn't know why - has new battery. Front right wheel is bent inward - a little worried about what the thing's been through.

We're in the middle of Ohio. The 6 acre flag-lot is free of trees, rocks - but not weeds! It is thoroughly covered with weeds. Fairly flat. Old farmland.

Fall is nearly here. We're considering waiting til spring to find a deal on maybe someone selling a tractor who's wanting to upgrade. Or maybe dealers would be selling old stock to bring in new models?

Would appreciate any suggestions anyone cares to give regarding when and what to purchase. Right now, we're just wanting to keep the lot mowed to keep the township happy. Don't plan to build on it for another 2 years.

Thanks much everyone!
