OOPS!!! Massey Ferguson 1010... Duh... Anyone know anything about this unit...
The MF1010 (and 1020) are Japanese built contract tractors for Massey Ferguson. A great machine and very durable Toyosha 3 cylinder diesel engine.OOPS!!! Massey Ferguson 1010... Duh... Anyone know anything about this unit...
Uh-oh, that one smells of a scam just to get money.Serious problem with the Ariens... The seller has no address or phone number... Further checks found that they are located in Indonesia...
Zero turns, even the ones built like tanks are not really designed (in my opinion) for rough ground. We are trying to use a Wright Stander at work to keep some vacant lots knocked down around the building and even at only 250 hours we've had to replace the front wheels and pivot axles (bearings shot, pivot axles bent) and a rim on the rear that came loose and sliced through a hydro line. This on maybe 4-5 acres of rocks and drainage ditches...... I'm thinking that another zero cut in this terrain may be disastrous... Especially since my wife will be taking over some of the mowing and doesn't like the zero cuts... She likes the Simplicity though... Waddya think Guys??? Tom the mowerless...
I had an additional thought but was too late to edit my post. So:The Legacy is a top-of-the-line garden tractor, and Simplicity is known for its great, arguably unparallelled, quality of cut. They offer a whole bunch of attachments to include 3 pt hitch, FEL, and backhoe. The Legacy was at the top of my list if I hadn't gone the ZTR route.
Also see a rear rotary brush mower listed there.The Legacy is a top-of-the-line garden tractor, and Simplicity is known for its great, arguably unparallelled, quality of cut.

Haste makes waste.I had an additional thought but was too late to edit my post. So:
On edit: I thought it important to iterate that while the Legacy is certainly capable of performing a variety of different, ground-engaging tasks, it is still only a garden tractor, not a CUT. Just as with any CUT when compared to their bigger UT brethren, it is entirely possible to reach, and possibly exceed, the Legacy's limit of ability especially if in a hurry, and subsequently beat the snot out of it.
While speed can be an integral part of haste, I was thinking more along the lines of trying to do too much at one time - i.e. lifting/hauling more than the FEL, and tractor, was designed for, attempting to dig into hard-packed earth without first breaking soil, or even routinely cutting 2' tall grasses mixed with small brush down to 3" in one pass with a finish mower.Haste makes waste.![]()
Ah yes, I can just picture it now...ramp to ramp jumping over streams on a Craftsman painted with Confederate flags. Gotta love it!...driving like...Bo and Luke Duke with Rosco on their tail...![]()
He mentioned part of that over in the introduction section:Well, ya never did answer questions asked for the suggestions you're looking for.
Where do you live and are you wanting a finish cut on 7 acres??
If you mow year round and want a manicured look you better be looking way beyond a big box store mower of any king. Cheap ain't gonna do it.
