Hate to burst your bubble, but tending two acres of garden with a Craftsman garden tractor is asking a lot! Now the plot you mention at home, even three to four times that size, no problem, and the other two acres would depend on the type soil. If it's loose loam you could probably do it, but if it has very much clay or rock, you just may need a larger tractor. I have tended small gardens myself with a 12hp Sears Suburban. I put anti-freeze in the tires, chains, and weights on the wheels, and a 50lb weight on the front end. It would pull that little plow very well. The disc never did too well. Cultivator OK.
