Hello all!
I am a new Mahindra owner. Bought a 08 2816 gear 4x4 the other day. It does not have a FEL. I really want to be able to move some round bales in the fall. 4x5 appox 800-900 pounds off of a trailer appox 30 inches off the ground. I priced a ML106 loader at $4500. I haven't found any aftermarket fel. I did not pay much more than that for the tractor. I could back up the trailer and use a 3 pt spear to move but would rather do it from the ground. I buy 20 bales a year. Move them less than 100 yards from trailer to barn to field. Tractor already has front weights. Or I could sell tractor and buy one with a fel, maybe a little bigger. I bush hog 2-3 acres and maintain a long gravel hilly driveway also. Any input appreciated!
First impression love the tractor. Rear diff lock is strange and brakes a touch weak but a world better than my previous long tractor!
