Ep. 294 - John Deere 5075E Mowing - Why I like No Cab - Do I need a Different Tractor???

Mowing pasture again with our John Deere 5075E tractor and the E12 flex wing mower. There are reasons why we may be looking for a different mower. Should you buy a tractor with a cab or open station? I state why I like the topless open station tractor better than cab tractors.
Here on Blackacre Ranch we are building a bison ranch from scratch in East Texas. We have started ranching bison (i.e. buffalo) and will progress into other animals as the ranch grows. We are converting an old rundown church camp into a first generation Texas farm...profitable ranch that is.
We are a family with 6 kids. Our goals are to homestead the property, grow healthy food, and build good character along the way. We are new to homesteading and don't know much about it, but we are willing to share our struggles and journey as we learn how to homestead together. Think of this as homesteading for beginners where we are the beginners.

You get a soil sample? That can help answer question and produce more forage.

2,4-D will kill those broadleaf weeds but won't kill the grass

I've had both. Traded my 2016 5075E OOP in on a Premium Cab. I like the Cab, the AC is nice. I don't use the radio much because I like 22:24 to listen to the Tractor especially during break in. You will appreciate having a top at least. It will save you from getting burned up. The seat in the cab is much nicer as well. The Cab may be a little higher COG but it still cranks over on the banks fine. I did trim all the low hanging limbs around the fence rows. One thing about a cab is that if that bush hog picks up a stone or limb and it gets past the guarding, the cab may protect you. FFT.

All good reasons for a cab. I just mowed a bunch this weekend and my allergies are killing me. Another reason for a cab. :)

I have a 6" mower for my 5075E. Works great for tighter spaces. Won't cut an open field as quickly as a wider batwing though.

May be the best way for me to go. Lot cheaper than another tractor.

Jeff maybe a small compact tractor & brush cutter or a small skid steer & brush cutter?

Broad leaf spray.

How about rain bird sprinklers running off your well? Mount the camera on the roll bar to free you hands. Save your money and give your kids a weed eater for the tight spaces.

I've thought to use the water in the "lake" to water the pastures. I have no fish in them and they just breed bugs so why not put it to use. Rain bird sprinklers are a great idea. Now to get it to work with the lake....

Jeff, how about a large deck size zero turn mower or a golf course mowers with a finisher mower on the front?

I have looked into zero turn mowers but I'm concerned that they will get stuck in the sand and the mower is a finish mower and my brush may be too much for it.
