I have a box blade and land grader. Both Woods and both 6 ft. The grader is a one trick pony. Does driveways great. Moving dirt not so much. If I'm doing my driveway which is about 1300 ft long I use the grader blade for general cleanup. But if I have some serious washout I use the BB with the...

Not a very good picture but I use a ammo can along with a basket. This way I can keep tools separate from the other stuff I carry. I also can get the ammo/tool box and take it somewhere if need be.

I have a Mahindra 1533 that the FEL will lift about 1700lbs. The few dealers I have spoken to says they have 4000lbs 48in forks. Isn't that an overkill? The forks they offer weigh around 375-400lbs. Woods offers a set of 2200lbs with 42in that weigh in at 275. Do I need 4000lbs forks if my...

I've had my ZT2 50in cut for a few years now and really like it. Still use my tractor on the rougher fields with the 72in finish mower. But I can get more grass cut quicker on a Zero turn.

With winter coming in I was thinking of ways to clear my gravel drive without removing half the gravel along with the snow. Came up with this idea and it didn't cost me a dime. Already had a 4 inch x 8 foot piece of PVC pipe. I cut it down to 6 feet then cut it long ways. Slipped it over the...

I have a 72 in finish mower I have for my Mahindra 1533. I only use for two fields whick are pretty rough riding. The other parts I use my zero turn. Used to have a riding mower before the ZT. Took me over 4 hrs to cut all my grass. That was cutting out with rider then finishing with the...

I built this a few years ago. Worked really well. I don't use it as much anymore. But it's nice to have around.

I've had it about 4 years. Thinking about selling it. Never really use it. Taking up too much room in the shed. Don't remember what I paid for it. Bought it new.

I have that basket also. Had on the backside of the ROPS. It was in the way when I went to use the 3 point. So I moved it to the side using different braces and resting it on the fender. Its great. Love it. Use it all the time. Just don't care for it where it was designed to go.

A buddy of mine is looking at a 2006 4110 4x4 Shuttle shift with 2700 hrs. Comes with loader. And has Remotes on rear. Says mechanically perfect but we know how that can be. Not a dealer. Private sale. Anything he should look for? Does need a grill. Wants $11,950

I use a SawHaul and I put a ammo box on the inside of my ROPS and a basket on the outside for my gas can, oil, another small toolbox and other assorted tools I might need.

I've been kickin around the idea of getting a helmet for a few years. So when I saw this, it got my attention. My wife just so happen to be reading this over my shoulder and asked why don't I have one. I said I don't know. Never really crossed my mind that I would really need one. Then, like...

Started hanging some fence line. Got 100 feet done pretty quick but the sun started to set and mama was blowin my phone up. She needed help with some stuff that could have waited. But you gotta keep mama happy. No rain for the next few days so I should get more done.

I've lucky so far. Heard them but haven't seen any. We've got about 250 acres of woods behind us so I would think they have enough food back there not to come too close. The times I do hear them I will pop off a few rounds in that direction and I'll be good for awhile. I do walk the property...

Got it home. I have NEVER driven or even sat on a zero turn. This is going to be fun. Did drive it around the back yard for awhile. Little bit of a learning curve. Was pushing when I should be pulling. LOL, almost hit a tree. That was funny. Only messed with it for about 20 minutes. Got it off...

Put the Sawhaul on today. Went on very easy. Looks great. Now I just have to wait till it dries out enough to get out into the woods.

I, like Eric102 went with the TSC Tarter Boom Pole and haven't looked back. Works great and would rather have too much pole rather than not enough.

I'm gonna have to disagree with some of you on this one. This is my Woods BSS72. I've had it a few years and it's done its fair share of ground work. I do hose it down every so often. The only place I've lost any paint is up at the top link where it meets the quick hitch. I can't say anything...

Love my LPGS. Does a great job.

Found this little Ring-Neck snake the other day.

I've had my Woods BSS72 for a few years now and no trouble with it. Does what I need. Weighs in at around 550 lbs.

I just went to TSC and bought a set and they work great.

I keep my chains in a PCV pipe I mounted. The 50 cal ammo box I use for tools. I mounted mine on the inside of the ROPS.

I did get it at TSC. I have a set of pallet forks for the bucket that I use to bring firewood into the basement. I built sides on two different pallets that I use to stack firewood and casters to makes it easier to move around the basement.

I've shown this pictures on here before but this is what I use when I am deep in my woods. Fill the bucket and carry all with the wood I split. Figure I can carry more after it's split rather than before.

Living on a gravel drive and road ya'll understand what it's like to plow snow and try not to take half your gravel with you. My driveway and road ain't exactly flat. Sometimes I scalp and other times I'll leave 4 inches of snow. I like the setup on the landscape rakes but not sure if they make...

I put this 50 Cal. box on awhile ago. Works great. I have another one in going to mount on the other side.

Went to Tractor Supply today and looked at the boom poles they had. Which turns out to be only one. Advertised on-line as a HD Countyline for $299. But saw a sticker on the side that said Tarter. Not going to argue with him since the HD Tarter on-line goes for around $365 plus shipping. I used...

A buddy and I were talking about this the other day. I use this stuff only once a year. But I mix it on the heavy side. Got it at Tractor Supply a few years ago. I think its around $60.

Splitting some wood. :)

Did some clean up work back by the cabin. Need to get back there more. Used my box blade on the path and to move some dead branches.

Put it on the other day. Takes away from looking backwards a little. Might stand the ROPS up again and mount higher up. I'll give it a few days.

Built a carry all with a trailer hitch for my splitter. I don't like to waste time dragging a tree out of the woods. This way I can cut it, split it, stack it, then drive to the wood shed. It's surprising how much wood can be put in this carry all and the bucket.

My Woods BSS72 551lbs works great with my Mahindra 1533. 63 in. wide so it sticks out a little. Weights does help with a box blade but if your tractor is not heavy enough to get the traction needed. Then you will literally be just spinning your wheels. IMO anywhere from 500-700 lbs would do fine...

Built mine last year. Casters underneath to help roll around. Two spots for chainsaws and tubes for shovels or rakes. I also added a trailer hitch for the wood splitter.

Had my PRD 7200 for about 3 years now and love it. No trouble at all. Got the roller on front and chains on the rear. Have to use chains on top because of the quick hitch.

Out of stock at RK so I looked on Amazon. Same price. Anyone else seen this? Good size so a tool box would fit inside. Amazon.com: Great Day TT4 Tractor Tool-Tray: Automotive

My neighbor and I have been doing some road maintenance this week and got into a discussion about weither or not I should use the scarfires on my boxblade and clean up the potholes. He said no just fill them in. But they keep coming back every 2-3 weeks. He doesn't like scarfires because he said...

Maybe you guys can help me. Looking to build something to help lift firewood up onto my splitter. Back is not as good as it used to be. Usually, after a few hours lifting logs up onto the splitter, my back is done for a few days. Looking to build something like a tri-pod with a swivel head and...

I use a Woods 72 inch and does wonders with 1300 feet of gravel drive. Weighs about 655 lbs. No scarifiers.

I live in a small town of about 800. Two gas stations. Only one sells diesel. And he is thinking about stopping. Told me repairs cost too much. He is using 25 yr old technology. The next closest town is about 30 minute drive. Was thinking... Does anyone here get thier diesel fuel in drums? Like...

Put two places for chainsaws. Tubes for shovels. 57 inches wide, 34.5 deep and 32.5 high. Also, put casters on the bottom to make it easier to move around. Not sure if I will put a tailgate on or not. I am planing to add a hitch to tow my log splitter.

My driveway is about 1300 feet. Use a Woods 6 foot grader blade with fantastic results.

Got this yesterday. Gimme about a week and I'll show the end result. Hooks up fine on my Woods quick hitch.

Already built one last year but I like this one better. Start with a pallet and built some sides with wire mesh. Put some wheels on to move easy. Made a ramp to get in and out of the basement. Just use my tractor with pallet forks to get from the wood shed to the house. Now I can load of enough...

Anyone get a letter concerning a recall for the 1500/2500? My letter says the problem is "CIB 16.021 Engine ECU (Computer) Update." To reprogram the ECU on all 1533/1538/2538/2540 tractors. The new dataset will: Increase the operating current of the EGR solenoid to reduce likehood of sticking...

Fixing the driveway after a heavy rain.

It's that time of year again...

Woods 72 in. Works great with my Mahindra 1533, Weights in at about 550 lbs.

My 1533 with a post hole digger I just bought. This was early last year I think.

Brought it home a few hours ago. Sitting in the basement for now. I'll get it out this week and see how it does.

Went to Lowes and ordered a 28 ton Dirty Hands log splitter. Price tag was $1547.77. Got 10% ($154.78) Veterans discount and after taxes ($83.58) came to $1476.57. I hope to pick it up on the 10th. Very excited to get my hands on this thing. Not sure if it comes assembled or not. Doesn't matter...

I've narrowed it down to these two. http://https://www.lowes.com/pd/Dirty-Hand-Tools-27-Ton-Hydraulic-Gas-Log-Splitter/1000096980 or http://https://www.lowes.com/pd/Champion-Power-Equipment-25-Ton-Gas-Log-Splitter/1000126583 I see good in both and also some bad. The Dirty Hand some say runs...

I have about 130 hrs on my Mahindra 1533. Really love that tractor. Was wondering why I don't hear anything about the 1533 on this forum? The good side it could be said that it's a great tractor and no one has been having any trouble. But on the other side it could be said that no one has been...

My happy place.

So, ya know how when you sit on your tractor for hours on end you get used to the noises that it makes. And when a new noise shows up... You are like, WHAT'S THAT? Well, that happened to me with my Woods PRD7200 Finish mower. It's only got about 80 hrs too. Good thing it's still under warranty...

Need some gear oil for my Woods prd7200. It says use 90w. All I can find is 85w. Think I'll be ok?

Would hate like **** to hit him with my finish mower. That's a size 13 boot. I VERY carefully grabbed him from behind and moved over to the woods. He wasn't too happy.

Finished cutting the back yard. Broke out the chainsaw to cut some wood. Until this happened. Not good. So I went ahead and messed with the box scraper and drive for awhile. Sorry no pics. Overall it was a good day. Any day outdoors is a good day.

Put these on a few weeks ago. Lifted my 550 lbs Box Scraper out of the back of my truck without any trouble.

I've had this picture for awhile but I never get tired of looking at it.

Bought a piece of PVC pipe. Capped the bottom and drilled a few holes in the bottom for drainage and zip tied it to the foot shield.

Been a long time coming but thanks to Teg I can now post some pictures of my Mahindra. I have over 90 hours and lovin life with it.

Test

Should have got it when I bought the tractor. My bad. Just had enough time to do about 300 feet of driveway before it got too dark. Got another 1000 feet to go. I have a Grader Scraper without scarifier shanks. Tell you what though. Those scarifier shanks make a big difference. My drive a pretty...

Using the post hole digger on my Mahindra 1533 the other day and broke a shear pin when the auger was deep in the ground. Had to use a 4x4x10 on a cement block to get it out. The problem is my dad (73) was working the hydraulics while I was using the 4x4. Didn't realize it but he was leaning on...

I went to the Woods web site and found the Grading Scraper that I wanted. Or so I thought. GSS72 Grading Scraper. Went through my dealer (who is not a Woods dealer) and bought it. When it got here I noticed no scarfires. But on the Woods web site it says comes with 5 scarfires shanks. Product...

We close on my old house next Wednesday the 15th! What a relief. Had two house notes for almost 7 months now. The wife is beside herself she is so excited. About time. So you guys know what this means? **** yea! That weekend you know where I'll be. The wife has shown some interest in driving the...

Got one **** of a project coming up soon. 3100 foot of fence! Few 12 ft. gates and some smaller. Was wondering what you guys think would be acceptable for corner post and can also handle those 12 ft gates. Was thinking about using 5 in posts every 3rd with T-post every 10 ft in between. Then not...

Short story. I went to a Kubota dealer today. Had to get a oil filter and some oil for my Husqavarna riding mower. While I was there I wanted to look at the Land Pride Finish mower and grader scraper. He answered my questions then asked me what tractor I was using. I told him I was planing on...

Been doing some research on this and can only find a few things where someone gives a review on it. Read a lot on the Woods, Landpride, Kingkutter, and Bushhog. But not on a Mahindra. My dealer seems to be pushing it hard. Got about 7 acres out of 21 that I cut. Most is pretty smooth but I have...

Very nice young man talked to me for about 45 minutes. Started it up and ran it awhile. Didn't drive it. But sat on it for some time. He gave me a price of $30,243.82 after taxes. Now a breakdown. Tractor- $19,419 FEL- $4,080 Mid Mount Mower 72''- $3,360 5' Box Blade- $635 Post Hole Digger-...

In the market for a tractor. Probably the 3016 Shuttle over the 3616 shuttle. Can't see spending an extra $3 to 4 thousand for 8 more horses considering everything else is pretty much the same. My question is that I live on 21 acres of heavy woods and uneven terrain. Also have power line with...
