I finally got my new tractor yesterday, a Mahindra 1538 TLB.
Of course I sat myself down to read and study the manuals, what there is of them. In the loader manual it says specifically that if you're running a backhoe you have enough ballast and not to add liquid ballast to the rear tires. Of course my dealer filled the rears with water so now I'm wondering. I think I'll have the backhoe mounted most of the time since one of my primary uses for the tractor is gonna be getting rid of some of these stumps. I might be taking the backhoe off in the winter to make pushing snow around a bit easier. Any thoughts from you experienced tractor folks.
