Well I'm a new owner of a MF 1010 plus I got a 4' blade & a 4' hog along with the 54" mid mount mower and delivered for 3550. I got it Friday and got both of my fields cleared in about 5 hours or so.
I did manage to get it stuck once
. There was a deep rut and I was in some fairly deep brush with a decent size sappling under me and got to where both rear wheels couldn't get get traction and couldn't move forward or backwards even with the differential lock on. So I unhooked the hog and put it in low 1st gear with the lock on. Then I did something I probably shouldn't have
, but I got out and rocked the tractor which gave it some traction and got it unstuck. Anyone else done a similar thing or have I violated every safety rule in the book?
I then removed the mid mount mower and finished clearing the fields. I think having the mower on was the main reason I got stuck.
I have a question on the steering brakes. My left steering brake works great, almost turns it on a dime and completly stops my left wheel, but my right one does not do so well as the right wheel continues to turn. Is this a sign of not having the pedals tuned correctly or a sign of bad brakes or normal?
Also what is the biggest size brush/small tree you can safely brush cut with this tractor? I mowed over some probably up to 1" in diam. and up to 7 or 8' tall.
