Finally getting around to posting pics of my tractor. I bought this tractor from Baders & Sons in Tecumseh Mi. By far one of the best experience's with a dealer. I would highly recommend them, My salesmen was Scott Header. I shopped many brands before settling on the deere, almost but a Kubota. Havent had a lot of seat time yet, spent a few hours moving snow this last weekend. Coming from a hydro back ground took a few minutes to get use to the power reverser. I love the interior and layout of the cab, very happy with the speed of the hydraulics. Another plus is just how quite this tractor is, with doors closed you can hear the radio at its lowest setting. Its amazing how smooth the engine is, like riding in a car. It was in the single digits Sunday morning and I had to turn the heat off, it will burn you out. I also picked up MX-10 with hydraulic off set really looking forward to using it. It a beast of a mower.

That is one sweet machine, thanks for posting pics.

And that's the first MX10 with the hydro-offset that I've seen a picture of.

Please post some pics of you using that baby once the grass starts growing up there! That would come really handy around my place with all the trees I need to get under!

Thank you for posting the pictures, Mate.

Nice rig!

Does John Deere make the mx series mowers or are they made by someone else?

jd870 · Apr 8, 2014

Made by john deere in mexico.

diggerd · Apr 8, 2014

Does anyone else make a similar mower like this?

calhoun9001 · Apr 8, 2014

Woods makes a hydraulic off set. For the 10 footer it was about 1500 more then the mx 10. Looks a little heavier and cuts a inch bigger brush. For me the mx 10 was a better deal and looks built plenty heavy for my use.

Thanks for the info. Ill probably go with an 8' if they make it. Still on the fence about getting a flail. I keep talking myself around in circles. lol

Can you still use a MX8 pull behind with the hydraulic offset? I've purchased the MX8 pull behind rather than the 3 pt considering I have gently rolling hills in some areas of our land.
