I am new to the tractor thing, I inherited my dad's John Deere model A with the narrow front end w/ PTO. I live in Maine and have about 15 acres of field that I have neglected and want to start bush hogging before it gets any worse. I also will probably want to lime and fertilize. The fields are hilly and I don't want to wind up crushed beneath the tractor. My dad did bush hog the fields with this but he grew up on a farm and it took him a long time. I was a welder for 10 years [I am now a commercial photograher] Can I convert this to a wide front end or any other solution? I think that the real solution would be a lower tractor w/ wide front, and probably will in time, but money is an issue. Any advise or feedback is appreciated. P.S. I have a 5' bushhog.
