Expert Posts: 1599	I'm looking for an inexpensive option for light utility work (mowing 2 acres, pulling small cart/spreader/sprayer0 and MAYBE a harrow (our ground is all sand here). I saw some people say they've used a craftsman 26hp mower or similar? Just wondering if anyone has used one for more than mowing?

Motor was slow and strained a lot to cut that much grass. Plus it was SLOW! If it's not a zero turn twin engine. I wouldn't do it. My next mower will be a zero turn!

Def looking into smaller gas tractors In the small Ford Tractor category, beware of A) six volt vs twelve volt electrical system and B) how recent or how good a shape is the engine/clutch/transmission/rear-end in mechanically.

I was a teenager and jumping off an old Ford 8N with when the battery exploded in our faces.....................Made quite the smoke screen as well. Laughing.
