WWYD? 2 acre edition
Posted on 3/20/18 at 5:14 pm
Posted on 3/20/18 at 5:14 pm
I have two acres of what is basically pasture land. (It’s even got some millet growing on it)
Plan to build a house on it in a few years but, I’m getting tired of bushhogging it. It includes finding a buddy who has a free tractor and borrowing it or having to pay someone to do it.
I was wondering if it would be better just to roundup the whole thing so I wouldn’t have to mess with it. I don’t plan on doing anything other to it right now other then maybe fencing it and improving the road. What day the OB?

If you round it up you will be left with a bunch of broad leaf plants that are a bitch. I would definitely continue to bush hog it or get someone to bail it. Square bales.

Buy zero turn, cut grass with zero turn, build house, still cut grass with said zero turn.

A zero turn ain’t touching this along with the little saplings growing out there

I guess I should just break down and buy a tractor since I hate borrowing.
Anybody know of any old 25-30hp tractors for sale?

Why do you say that a zero turn can’t cut 2 acres?
ETA: how much does it cost you when you pay someone to cut it?

Looks like a good way of messing up a perfectly fine zero turn
ETA: I usually pay between $200-$250

If you cut it regularly it wouldn’t grow up like that.

In OP, you made it out like it was a grass field. That’s a thicket!!
That hasn’t been bushhogged in at least 2 yrs.

That is the worst spot, this is what most of everything else looks like.

You could have a killer dove field Sit under the oaks Man oh man

rent a skid steer,scrape a fire break around it,burn it off then buy zero turn.

Goats...will keep it clean..Start out with more goats and decrease the number after one growing season..guaranteed..

If it already has a really good fence,goats would work great.

Maybe hit it with a bush hog then cut all the sapling nubs with a chain said, hit it with a finish mower, then proceed with the zero turn and then keep zero turning it. Or forget about it, then when your ready to build chain saw the saplings and bush hog it.

That would be the way I would go.

Sounds like a plan.... although now I’m itching to buy a small tractor lol
