Thanks. This mower is ready to cut. One of the hydrolic lines leak. I've already found one at IH/Case for $25. THe seller has new knives for it just never installed them. They come with it.
Yea this is just a starting point. This fall and next spring I'm logging 30 acres of hardwoods to make hay fields. I'm taking that money off the trees and buying mowers, rake, and a baler. I'm just trying to stay out of debt as much as possible. My wife and I have talked about going ahead and buying then paying it off next spring, but I can wait. Even still we're in the worst drought that my area has had in a long long long time.
I'm not planning on getting into the hay busness. I'm looing at just growing my own. It may come down to selling some to make some ends meet.
