What is your idea of a perfect mowing tractor?

My perfect mowing tractor is my original B-110. I am rebuilding an HB-212 that will be my mowing tractor when completed.

60" Kubota ZD28  28 horse diesel Zero-turn (still have and use)

JD 4720 with 15' landpride 3 gang finish mower (sold tractor but still have mower if interested)

They come in real handy when you mow 40 ac. of soccer fields like we did for 5 years.

if lawns and farmsteads are the topic a green 777 zero-turn is a tough competitor--10 mph and a real classy job--makes the 20-30 hp belly mowers blush and hide--been there!!!

nice lookin 7000

Sheep.

I like the '42 C, and L59. Perfect, probably not, but gets the job done well and is very economical.

80 acres with 200 head of hungry angus cows with calves along side.

WD-45 with my Lilliston 7 foot "Yard Leveler"  

My 7000 black belly with the 3240 20' Woods Batwing.  Not sure why Dad insists on push mowing the lawn when I could do it in a lot less time with this :-D

Toss up between my CA W/Woods L306 mower (I do like the hand clutch on the CA...however, had to rebuild several of them to get them to work properly) and the AGCO 2020LC W/5' cutting deck. Both gets lots of work on the 5 acres I mow. The CA gets the nod for the 1/2 mi ditch banks on both sides of the county road in front of the house and around the pond. The L2020LC (with hydro drive, power tilt/trim on the deck) gets the nod for around the house.

My WD and a 7' finish mower behind it. I have a cupholder bolted to the fender for my favorite beverage!

Right now, I have a 1939 B with a Woods L59, and it is my favorite, but I plan to put factory power steering on my 1953 WD with an L306 and then it will claim the favorite spot.

We have a 5015 with a Deutz Allis 60A mower belly mounted.  That little diesel is great as we have some steep slopes and it has a lot of torque. The diff lock helps when the uphill drive wheel looses traction.  Probably a 4x4 would be better but this gets it done.

I have a woods L59 under a B which I have used for over ten years. I like it real well. I put a woods 59 right hand under one of my C's which does a good job also but I do not like the idea of the 59 mower being narrower than the rear tractor tires. I think that with the 59 mower I will put it under a B with a C narrow front some time iin the future. That I think will be the ideal mower for me.

Charlie: I like your idea, but I am afraid the wife would yell at me when I made my turns.
