Pappa / Dave:
I agree on checking everything relative to the fuse blowing...it may not have been trying to engage the tractor before allowing sufficient warming....I am actually getting it from the service center today.....$483.80 later, I will feel more comfortable knowing that I am starting with a 'clean' tractor.
You asked about my thoughts on the tractor and cost:
1. Thoughts - It runs well and handles as good as any. Mine is a 2-wheel drive, with front-end loader and even-though it has a locking rear differential, it would not compare to a 4-wheel drive unit.
With that said, I expected it not to be a bull-dozer and 1 extra pass on some things doesn't bother a weekender like me much at all.
2. Cost. I think I got a really good deal:
$5,000 Custom built full length trailer
Boxblade
Bushhog
Middle-buster
Tine rake
Full blade (snow blade)
Tow bar
Crop-row plow (not really even sure what this is...looks like a bowling pin setup)
3525 Mahindra, 2WD, Front-end loader....
$18,000
Hard for us to beat. It has 400 hours, and the previous owner was 'hard' on it...but it runs great and will work my 40 acre farm just fine.
Good Luck
