Jerry, I maintain 15 acres of hilly terrain too. I think
the best advice is not which tractor to buy, but how to
set it up. I started with a Kubota 2350 and still use it
a bunch. It has a front loader which made mowing
difficult, so I bought a Ford 801. That was just ok, until
I weighted the front end and filled the rear tires with
fluid. Now it is a dream to mow on the hills. Get as
much weight on the wheels as it will allow and set the
wheels as far apart as possible. Do not buy a row crop
tractor to work the hills with. If you use a front
loader on the hills, always always use balllast on the
rear to stabilize. A mower will work, or just about any
weight on the three point. I made a BHT (big heavy
thing) to mount on the three point for ballast. Works
great when I am front loading with the Kubota.
