Friends / associates / miscreants however you want to be addressed I need some advice. I think the time has come to give up on the idea that I want to walk my lawn mowing, it’s time to drive. Half acre lot with some slope, tractor or zero-turn. I figure max deck size that makes sense if a 42”.

Recommendations? Horror stories?
In my experiences as a former Lawn Tech for John Deere, 48” seems to be the sweet spot for deck width. The triple blade 48” is just an all around nicer cutting setup than decks larger or smaller. Zero turn is much faster in overall time to cut the lawn, and it sounds like you are trying to save time. Tractor may be more useful if you want to add a snowblower attachment, etc down the road.

Heck, I mow almost a half acre with a 22" self propelled push mower

Can't hide poverty

Good afternoon suckers,

the tractor has started, so far no leaks.
Now I'm just hoping that one of you monkeys can recommend good headlights for a Massey Ferguson 42xx, 43xx
What size or any other info about these headlights Tor?
We have pretty good JWSpeaker stuff that fits CNH and John Deere, but whether you'd even find them in Europe?

Are you wanting to replace the existing bulbs or completely replace the headlight assembly

I know ZERO about tractor's but depending on the setup if it is a common headlight bulb base you could probably find an appropriate retrofit kit on Amazon

If the federals stop by. You don't know me. Thanks bro.
I'm telling them you taught the class Mr. Teacher.
I'd bet you'll have visitors, eventually...
I’d be surprised if not.
Maybe so, but I don't know that I have any useful information. He never spoke about guns or politics, or even anything violent. He was one of the more intelligent people in the class, but not genius-freak level smart.

I try to avoid buying anything other than steel bar, I'm so clumsy when chopping that it's good to have one bar that is elastic without permanently bending lol

TsuMura comes with a premium bar for the K095 mount as well, as does Cannonbar with Duralite. They just haven't hit the market yet.
Both of these brands are known to have delivery problems.

Good times for those of us who feel finished with laminated bars.
It's hard to bend a 13" bar Tor

I bought several of these copy light bar's
They were 40.00 with chains are solid bar's with cutouts
Seem fine I've cut some with them IMG_20240708_105630.jpg
I bought several of these versacuts year's ago and they have held up good over the year's they run about 50.00 for a 24"
I haven't tried any of the versacut shorter bar's i need some k095s for saws I'm selling.

Yup, 3 secs on the web

Or find a bulb kit that interchanges with stock or even pair that with a supplemental set of wide beam LED auxiliary lights for a very small fraction of those $200 + to $500 lights

I don't know śhit about tractors but you can get a butt load of light that will improve the low speed light needs of a tractor for not a lot of money if you just think it through

One reason I asked him what his plans were

No offense intended
