Got My 1st Tractor- 2015HST (2003)

[Patiofarmer]

I picked up my 2015 HST this weekend. I'm very excited. It took a little more out of budget than I had, but it feels strong and seems to run good. Can't wait to do more now than read about everyone else enjoying their tractors !!

There are quite a few Mahindra owners on here and combined with everyone else there's lots of available knowledge.

congratulations on the new tractor. Im sure you got the feeling of how could you do it without it. Do you have any pictures?

 

[Patiofarmer]

I have 2 before pictures... I never posted pics before on a forum so I hope I do this right.

Here goes the attempt

Did you notice that the wifes car is outside and tractor is inside?

I'm 55... the bones and muscles got a work out for 25 years in construction - now tractor is a necessity

I can't really justify buying it, but I'm old enough where I've come to realize that I'm not taking the money with me when I go. Shoot, the way all these govt and money people are going it's worth more invested in a tractor than in dollar form. At least it will be worth a tractor !

Thanks, I'm looking forward to good weather so I can get out and drive around some more ...and grade out the front yard

The tractor looks great. A wash would make it look like new. Be sure and post us more pics once you start a few projects with it.

Yep on the wash idea! The guy I got if from used it to muck out his horse stables. So cleaning is due, then I'll start sanding and painting slowly but surely. I checked oil in motor yesterday, and it's filthy. So I'll have to hunt down/order an oil filter right of the bat.

Speaking of painting... does anyone know what actual color red Mahindras are ?
