Mahindra 4540 4WD

The fence is coming slow. The heat has slowed me down some days. A little overtime here and there as well. Family time, etc. But I have about 75-80% of the post in. My wife is ready to bring the spoiled one, I mean, the horse home.

 

You've been a busy man Gasifier , I'm sure the horse will be happy.

 

Ya. Me too. Funny! That spoiled bastard. LOFL!

 

Jealous!!

 

I'm late to the party...... Anyhow awesome tractor man! You will very quickly find yourself wondering how you ever got along without it.

this is very true you friends and family will be... oh can you come help me with xxxx I've been wanting to do for years...

 

It came today around 2, after the guys showed us certain things it was time we drove it, we're both glad we went with our first choice, it seems like a beast.

After I drove it I saw the wife coming down the driveway already to take a few laps with it, she really like it too. She looked like she had been driving a tractor all her life so once she was done I moved some wood over to the splitter area and then called it a day.

Tomorrow if things go well, I plan on taking down some dead pine in certain areas near the trail so we can get around the woods easier.

We'll have to order that crusher run for the driveway real soon.

 

Awesome machine!!!! More pictures please. Them Mahindras are absolute monsters. They really have amazing value with a ton of power and weight compared to competitors. I looked very hard at the 2538 and probably would have bought it if the used Kubota 3710 hadn't miraculously fallen into my lap. Sometimes I still wonder...

 

If the rain holds off tomorrow, I'll be making the trails wider in certain areas. I did make it around a good portion of the trails around the house with the tractor.

mike bayerl , I think we would've been happy with a orange or green tractor too, some of the work around here just became easier. We'll be ordering that crusher run tomorrow, that should get me use to the bucket controls.

 

Tear it up Zap....Congrats on that beautiful workhorse!

 

Thanks eatonpcat , we'll put it to good use.

 

Thanks Well Seasoned , it just created more work for me, I had to take the pen away from the boss.

 

Let the fun begin.................................

 

Glad it arrived safe and sound thewoodlands. Remember, keep your bucket low, especially when loaded, so center of gravity states low. The backhoe will make a huge difference in weight for the rear. Once it's on you will see what I mean after working it a while. But the three point hitch implements are very useful! Tell the misses she can have the pen back to write down pallet forks for front, and a heavy duty York rake for back! And eventually a brush hog. Then take the pen away again. Oh the driveway and trails will look sooooo nice.

 

You didn't ask, but I can definitely recommend the DR (Earth & Turf) 3pt log hitch. It's a simple, heavy-duty fixture with a hook for a chain log choker and a nice 2" receiver for any hitch. Add to that a choker chain any decent choker chain, and you will be able to skid any log you can think of. It's a nice balance of solid build and function at a fair price (made in USA). However, if you can afford a real 3 pt logging winch, absolutely go for it.
