Mowed some pasture today. I bought this Woods 20' cutter new in 1974 for $3,000.00. I did assemble it myself and put my own tires on it. It's the only thing I ever bought that really pissed off my dad. He said we just didn't need it even though we we were tending about 400 acres of pasture and mowing with a Lilliston 7'6" and Woods 9'6" mowers. Dad said it would never stay together with all the U-Joints. He would not even use it for the first year,but when he finally did,he soon had a smile on his face. Took him 2 more years to admit it wasn't such a dumb thing to buy. I was 20 years old when I bought it and it's 40 years old and been over thousands of acres and never had a U-Joint replaced. Please don't think I'm bragging on my old stuff. Heck,everything I farm with is old and way outdated by todays standards. I like looking at pictures of everyones tractors and machinery and just thought I'd share a few. http://s1353.photobucket.com/user/steveatthefarm/media/2014-07-22102858_zps8b2a6293.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> http://s1353.photobucket.com/user/steveatthefarm/media/2014-07-22103039_zpsfdb2f410.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> http://s1353.photobucket.com/user/steveatthefarm/media/2014-07-22102858_zps8b2a6293.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> http://s1353.photobucket.com/user/steveatthefarm/media/2014-07-22102821_zpsc674b6b1.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">

I've used a Lilliston 7'6" before. Good heavy mower but all it did was piss me off. I didn't like it. Good call on your part. |

Thanks for the pic! Love the 2000 too! I bought an 8 ft Bush Hog for $7500 a couple of years ago...still a good buy. I put between 300 and 400 hours a year on mine doing custom work. I'd run a bigger one, but it won't fit on my trailer! ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

| Yes Nick,it's pasture for cattle. I only have a small herd. At present-41 cows,37 calves and 2 herd bulls. My farm is 130 acres and this field has 64 acres in it. I got up to 50 cows a few years back,but it turned out to be a drought year and I ran out of grass. |

| I'm about 15 miles south of Lexington in Nicholasville,Ky. Not much here. If you took WalMart,Lowes and Kroger away there would be nothing left. |

| That must feel great to mow 20' in one pass. I'll bet once your Dad finally drove it, he felt the same? Great AC 200 / mower setup. Good for you to make such a mature purchase at a young age. Truth be said, your Dad is proud of you. I imagine he fondly talks about you and that woods mower to friends & family. |
