Currently I have a 53 Jubilee and it does all the chores, has 5' finish mower, 5' bush hog, box blade, pulverizer, scoop, boom pole, pallet lifter, scrap blade, fertilizer spreader and a doodad for digging a skinny ditch for laying cable. I love it, but am thinking of getting a tractor that I could use as a dedicated mower. I have the the N on the Smiths page, but am seeking opinions on alternatives. I need it to be with a low center of gravity as I do have some hills. I want to use at least a 5' belly mower but would love a 6' if I could find one. Since it will only be doing mowing, it does not have to have a 3point hitch although it would be nice if it did. So, any suggestions? I would consider all brands, IH, JD, Case, whoever made a low version. Thanks. Oh, I can spend about 3000 to 4000 tops for this setup, so that might narrow the field some.

I mow my hay with a Hesston self-propelled 110 mower/conditioner, 1967 model, powered by a wis V4. It is very stable on hillsides except going downhill with the cutterbar up, when the backend will pick up when stopping. I just keep it down until I turn the corner mostly. It is not a finish mower for lawns. I wore out one, paid $1800 in '73. Bought another one 5 years ago, paid $900. It has 6 vee-belts, all but one a PTIA to change.

You should be able to get another N-Series or newer Ford in your price range and you already have a finish mower. I don"t think you will find anything more stable on hills than a Ford utility tractor. I basically did the same thing with a Ford 3000 for the bulk of my mowing - got really spoiled with the power steering and live hydraulics (live pto is nice, but optional).
