 What would be interesting would be to see what a 782 diesel would use for fuel to mow your two acres. I would think it would take a lot less fuel compared to a gas tractor. I have a 44" IH deck here and I`am think I should try my 1512 diesel out mowing my lawn,keep track of fuel and time running and then, compare that to the 125 that I`am rebuilding for gas usage. Those of us that like to keep our property's nice neat and well kept do spend some $$ to do so in a season.  I did have a blast last time I used the O with the timed deck to mow my grass and I found it took me longer , but the tractor did a nice job mowing. I found I could turn right sharper that a left turn because the front tires will drag on the mower brackets on the original. My biggest problem here is my better half has planted so many small plants and trees that there is so much turning and backing up that I tend to mow it one way most of the time.I tried hauling the sweeper once and well it does not like to be backed up so it stays in the Cub shed #1. I like to see a lawn that is well kept. Later Don T
