The little old John Deere came out to see what the commotion was all about, only to be chased back under it's own shed by the new Mahindra (see pics)
Took it out for some practice. First condenced a few small piles of limbs into one larger pile to figure out the grapple controls. Then it was out into the muddy pasture where I removed (crushed, broke apart) some very large branches leaning hard on a wood fence. Not the best tires for mud, but a little better than turf tires. Tried picking up a large section of log and it handled it easily. Lastly, used the box blade to smooth out a spot under the hay shed where it will rest. That thing works great. Might take me a little time to really get used to it, but this tractor (5035 HST) should do everything I need it to. Rob
