I just got this tractor last week and it's my first. I'm worried about being to rough on this tractor. Can I push over 3" trees and try to push up the roots with out hurting it.What are the limitations?Any advice of do's and dont's would be helpful.

Welcome to the forum.

You probably can push over trees, but several things can happen that you might not like. Tops can snap back, or tops from other trees can snap back, making for some shrapnel that can smash you or your spotless hood, etc.

The tree can break while pushing and the stub come back into the tractor. Could punch out the radiator, etc.

If me, I'd dig under the tree roots if possible, lifting the tree out possibly. Take it real easy. Wierd things can happen, but you will have plenty of power to make those things happen too.
