I think you need a dozer for 300 acres.

If you are going to wire a generator to the main power supply you need to do it through a transfer switch. So that the grid connection does not become energized by the generator. Any licensed electrician will know how to do this.

All of your neighbors will probably be grateful unless you screw something up. Then you will be in trouble. Sadly, it’s often a no win situation when you try to do something nice. I grade the potholes and washboards out of our gravel road whenever they get bad. I don’t know if any of my...

If it was me I would accept the freebie and then find a use for it. Look for an FEL but if you can’t find one just forget about it until one appears. Meanwhile find a use for the 3pt hitch on the back. Make sure your wife with is OK with this gift. No sense in pissing her off for something you...

You can frequently use the FEL to lift the front end out of being stuck. Then, as you said, you can use the backhoe to lift up the back end from being stuck. Swing the backhoe to move the back end out of the mud. Or, while both ends are up in the air, you can use your other tractor to deliver...

You can easily multiply your winching power by rigging multiple snatch blocks into the winch cable to give you 2X, 3X or 4X the pulling power from whatever winch you have. With a 3500 lb winch you can realistically achieve 10,000 pounds of pull or more. However if you have any hope of recovering...

Mike, I think you will find that the key to successfully operating any vehicle in soft sand has more to do with tire pressure than anything else. Try experimenting with reduced tire pressure in your tractor to find the sweet spot. Keep using 4wd and low range gearing with rpm’s in the range...

Hi everybody. This is my first posting. I'm new to this site and also a first time tractor buyer. I have a Mahindra dealer in my area and I'd like to hear comments about this brand, both good and bad, from other Mahindra owners out there. I'm looking at a 3016 at Mahindra and comparing with JD...
