MF 4610 and Woods PSS84

Here are some images putting in oats and clover, red and white. Nice seeder, didn't have rear cultipactor loosed up enough so wasn't getting full weight. That was actually a lane to back 4 acres that is used for hay, grazing and deer hunting. Seeder works as advertised. Heavy, but no issue for the 3 point nor ballast needed.

How's the tractor doing? Does she handle the work well?

Doing very well, last fall I ran a Vermeer 8" disc mower and really like it. Did some racking and small square bails. And picked up large round bales from a 5x6 Vermeer baler. This was the first tillage, did well. Pulled a 3pt, 3 bottom plow. Did well, it was sod and a little wet. You knew it was there. I have a 2pt, 4 bottom plow I feel it would pull fine, especially in a field. I also pulled a 12' old John Deere disc, that was very good. Only ran it at 1800 rpm in, never tried to bog at all. I would like to try a new 13', 14' or 15' Landoll or Sunflower. But not in budget at moment. See new tractor and seeder.

Here are some pics of plow, no action shots. My plowing in rolling terrain with sod was not to be documented.... It is an old MF plow as well. I went to look at a old Kiwanee disc. Sadly it was scrap, but was 13-15 wide with manual folding wings. I thiough it would be perfect. I plan on farming myself in a couple years. about 35 acres of row crop.

I sure like to take loader off if doing a lot of hay or field work, so much better vis. Looking at making a weight bracket, but not sure I need for any implement that I have.

That'd a good looking tractor ... I wouldn't mind having one someday. Glad you're liking it.

No issues yet, changing front axle fluid this week and fuel filters. Only 60 hours, like to look at that stuff early in.

I thought dash lights didn't work, but was operator error.

Does your 4600 have a water separator like the 1700 compacts?
