So what im hearing is build a pole barn and keep them all. Does anyone have any money tree seeds i can plant all around it? Problem with that is as big as i could build it, i have a tendency to fill it with stuff... iv got to many irons in the fire as it is. I recently bought a Rhino that my son and i have been going on trail rides in and i can see that becoming a big part of our life now.


As i said I do love my super smoker so that is what has me torn. I wish i could keep them all but i have to much stuff as it is. Im trying to trim the fat. I'm also selling my old gravely and all its attachments as i just dont use it any more, another great machine that is just taking up space.

I appreciate all the comments, thats whats great here. Lots a varying opinions. I know i dont post much, more of a reader so thanks.

Are you good at building stuff? You can order a pole barn kit online and get a 24x32x10 kit for well under $10k. $6314.64 is what I came up with when I designed a very basic one. www.diypolebarns.com

That's less than the cost of his Rhino, or a SCUT......

Trouble with a larger compact tractor is it would sometimes be too big to cut around trees as well as other low overhead clearances and tight radiuses. So you'd end getting yourself a smaller garden tractor to solve the dilemma.

Using a SCUT for a mowing tractor is a bad idea all the way around. If you have a large area to mow and use it for that, it's now bad... but for everyday "round the yard" it's not practical. I wouldn't even buy one with a belly mower. If you want to cut some larger area's of grass with it, get a rear 3pt finish mower. They cut fine, and are far easier to remove when you want to do other things with the tractor.

Dad uses his Deere to mow his whole place with. He got rid of all the things we used to have to mow around, so it isn't as big a deal, but I think it looks like crap compared to how a good ZTR cuts. Or his 1864. But he lives on a gravel road in the middle of nowhere. Maybe 3 people a day (same people everyday) see his yard, so he really could care.

I no... its a scratch and dent Rhino. I generally buy stuff cheap that needs work... tinker and fix stuff while i drive them and sell for a profit. Been doing it with flipping cars for 20 years, figured i would broaden my horizons

My yard is wide open and flat with minimal trees. From looking at the BX size tractors I dont see to much of a down grade in mowing difficulty compared to the haban 60" deck i have now. I grew up mowing on and old Economy with a 60" deck so i dont know the luxuries of a Zero turn... probably best i stay ignorant on that or id want one of those too hahah

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
