I did about the same thing as you four years ago. I bought a 1-year old JD 4100 with 54" belly mower, diesel engine, loader and hydrostatic transmission, less than 100 hours, still under warranty. If you keep the blades sharp and the grass isn't over about a foot, it easily handles top speed (about 15 mph) while doing a good job mowing. Covers a lot of ground. If your ground is rough, you will find that speed too rough on you. The tractor is a little underpowered (about 17 pto hp) for fields with thick grass that haven't been mowed in a while (like 2'-3') like I had in northern Illinois, but if the grass is shorter or if it is thinner like it is here in MN the tractor has more than enough power. Price was pretty reasonable, too (low teens). Runs almost all day on a five gallon tank.
