First thing I noticed is even with the weight of 5000lbs plus, popping stumps out is still not easy as tires spin .. using chain hooked to back of tractor.. could not pop them out using loader as I lifted tires off the ground, but did mangage to break roots off enough to finally pull it out after many tries.. maybe ag tires would give a better grip over r-4's... Guess I need a 20000 lb tractor with 500hp and 8 wheel drive to pull stumps out
.. did not try to use backhoe as I had to take off to use posthoe digger to put fencing posts in.. I am use to running a 80hp bobcat that weighs 7500lbs... it will take some time to get the hang of tractor.. still have not used 6ft Kodiak boxblade, it has some thick sides 1/2" says HD on side.. or the rotary mower which also is a Kodiak, 6ft medium duty 90hp gear box.. will use boxblade some time this week to spread new gravel on drive, as this Georgia clay sure can get muddy.. upon starting for first time in morning , white smoke pretty heavy, after that starting up again over the day no smoke.. dealer said smoke is normal..??? also seat is a little to far back even in the forward position for my short 30" inseam.. mostly using clutch.. after some more use I will update... sure am glad I did not go any smaller in size with tractor..
