It痴 official, I知 a farmer.

Hi guys,

I just picked up a blue tractor for my blueberry farm and I have to say we love it. We got the XR3135HC on Sunday and Monday we logged 11hours. I would like to say that I got use it alot but my son ended pushing me out of the way and mowing all day, he is 12 by the way.

We are mostly just mowing and spraying so I don’t really need a lot of power. The biggest requirement is just being narrow enough to make it down the blueberry rows. I ordered it with the R1 Ag tires. I did pull off my first mod this evening and swapped the front and rear lights for 12” LED bars, that will make spraying at night a lot easier. I also ordered a quick hitch to make life easy.

Thanks for all the great info you guys have provided I have been reading a lot here to get more good ideas. This is my first tractor.

What a great little tractor! I am really pleased with the cruise control and auto PTO setting. We have been working her every day since we got her on Monday. I need to read and learn how to take off the FEL, but I am sure I will find the answer here in a thread some where.

Tomorrow we are spreading 180 units of sawdust, and I will tell you that I love the cab! No dust, just comfort.

Very interesting little farm project you've got going there. Please keep posting progress reports and photos. Glad that tractor is working out too.

Well, after a 10 days we managed to log 70.5 hours in the tractor and worked the piss out of it. We defiantly made it work beyond its max pulling the sawdust trailer and running the conveyor belt with the PTO. But we did it, no overheating or Hydro issues.

Good to hear it. A tractor is meant to be worked and I would expect no less.

I've got almost 800 hrs on my clock now and plan on removing a couple of neighbor's trees with it today.

They're meant to be worked and worked hard.

Just be sure to maintain them just as heartily.

Oh and keep the RPM's up to keep the DPF system happy.

Enjoy your little blue ox!
