[QUOTE="thatdoggJake, post: 742523, member: 13656"] I have 500 acres to mow. I also posted a question on the grasses topic (please check that question out as well). I have a ten year lease, but no tractor as of now. I think I have a 70 hp tractor to use with a 15' cutter for free, plus the diesel fuel and parts if anything was to break while I had it. This sounds like my best option, but I don't want to feel like I owe the guy something back, when espcially I have nothing to really give that would be benieft him besides money. I really want to buy my own tractor, but the idea is to make money one day off my cattle business and I don't know if buying a tractor will every get me in the black when I only plan to use it about 120-200 hrs a year. Lastly, I could hire someone to mow who already had a tractor. I know three different people who mow large tracts, but I don't want to ask them for quotes and never use them. These three people are also customers of mine who I sell fencing supplies to (which is the business I am in, oh yeah and I can't get any special fencing pricing for whoever might have that idea). What would you do??? Thanks!!!!! [/QUOTE]
