Firewood, mulch, brush, rocks, irrigation equipment, you name it. The deck came off as soon as I got it home. You can tackle much rougher terrain without the deck hanging under the tractor. II have a big hill to go up and down, but if your property is fairly level, a standard lawn tractor should be fine for pulling a couple hundred pounds around.

Notice Gary's tractor in the photos has the "snowplow" on in the summer... that's counterbalancing some of the tongue weight of the trailer.
I keep my rototiller on my small tractor all summer, to get the full use out of my loader's capacity, plus some extra traction (some folks have a dedicated "weight box"). My big tractor has loaded tires, and is quite capable... but I had to put the backhoe back on this spring after doing endos trying to move stuff I placed with the backhoe ON last fall!

I'm thinking about a new battle cry. Maybe "Not in the face! Not in the face!" Any thoughts tiny ad?
