Congrats!

The hat is just to blend in when you get around the JD guys right? Dont want to make them jealous!!

Anyone have an idea on how the 4035 compares to the new 4wd 4025? I believe the 4025 is an Indian machine. They appear to be about the same size so I am not sure why Mahindra came out with a similar machine other than for those folks who like a more traditional looking machine with less doodads on it.

Check out the specs. on each one here: Mahindra 4025 4WD - Mahindra Tractors - Heavy Duty, Value Packed Tractors. Built Tough to Last with a 5 year Warranty Mahindra 4035 4WD HST - Mahindra Tractors - Heavy Duty, Value Packed Tractors. Built Tough to Last with a 5 year Warranty

The 4025 doesn't have a back hoe available, and appears to be more of a utility tractor than a compact. It weighs more, and the loader lifts more than the the 4035. However, at the 3 point hitch, the opposite applies. In addition, the transmissions, and engines are different.

Are you thinking of buying one?

I like the FEL control on your new tractor. Its unique, and looks very easy to use.

I've been contemplating buying a tractor for the last 3 years. The wife says not until mine breaks or I die can I get a new tractor. The latter will be a replacement for the 72 virgins others will get. I stood next to a 4035 a week ago as Mahindra is the closest dealer to me. Compared to my JD 750, its a monster. I know how well the JD goes through our very dense N.E. woods so I am always concerned about increased load capacity as it relates to skidding trees and maneuverability with a larger machine. I'd love to be able to drag out a 60' tall 20" wide oak in one shot instead of the three trips it takes now ( two for the stem and once for the crown) especially that I am going further out on the acreage to harvest firewood. I used to own a JD 950 along with the 750 and thought it was a wee bit large for our woods. Perhaps at the time, it was just that I was used to the maneuverability of the 750. For some reason the 4025 looked smaller in the pictures but I know its not. It is not as prettied up so as to not mind too much when it starts to get woods dinged.
I really need as small a tractor as possible that can still drag out an entire oak and I do not know if the two factors equate.

NH Mitch, it is very easy to use. The third function hydraulic is real easy to operate with the control right at my finger tips. Still waiting on the grapple and york rake.. Just got back from Vacation and headed out to the dealer tomorrow.

I doubt that you'll be able to accomplish that feat with a small tractor. You may cut your trip from three to two assuming you get the ag tires -- but I would not really want to wager on that. We logged for years with first a massey 35, then a JD 4010, then a JD 440C skidder -- and I'm here to tell you that an untopped tree is one heck of a pull.

- and I'm here to tell you that an untopped tree is one heck of a pull.

The "crown" I am referring to is the usable firewood. Anything less than 3 " I cut off. I am not looking to pull out the entire tree as a whole piece. In my woods, without making skid roads, that would be impossible no matter what I had to skid with. I want the stem in at least two pieces but power enough to drag out the crown usable firewood. I make what I call "fold notches" at crown splits so when meeting resistance, the notch part breaks and "folds" in. Some consider the 4035 and 4025 a "small " tractor.
