Hi
Just discovered this forum - looks like a great place to exchange tractor related ideas, experiences etc. I have 5 acres on the north western edge of Sydney. Bought my Enfly 40hp tractor a couple of months ago - using it regularly for landscaping, driveway maintenance, stump pulling etc. I've done about 40 hours on the tractor, and so far I'm very happy with it.
A couple of things I'd like to share for the benefit of those that are new to tractors (like myself): (1) be very careful when driving across a slope, particularly when you have a load in the bucket, and the bucket is up high. I almost rolled my machine while carrying a large stump (probably 350kg) that I'd grabbed in the jaws of the bucket. Luckily, the stump slipped out of the jaws just in time to prevent the tractor rolling over sideways. (2) not sure if this applies to other tractors, but the Enfly has left hand threads on the rear left hand wheel studs! I stripped one of the wheel studs before I worked this out! Why was I removing my wheels? With the Enfly, you can gain around 300mm of extra distance between the back wheels if you reverse the wheel plates - this gives the tractor a bit more stability and makes it a bit safer to drive across slopes!
