I have 68 acres and a retail mulch business...

Ah Ha ! You will probably love that machine for that application and many others as well. Best I can tell from the photos you do have the skid-steer quick attach adapter which is a darn good thing. My guess is you may end up toying with various alternate bucket sizes and configurations given your primary business. Most likely, handling mulch, you can use a much larger bucket than the standard one supplied with this machine. As with any tractor in this size range you have a big investment and expect a lot out of it. Hope it is all positive for you.

My 2660HD was for a much different application (cleaning up an old farm, bush hogging, much steep ground, only getting to use mine once a month, etc.) I won't drag out details but my first 3 years were terrible with problem after problem, astounding lemon behavior. It literally took 3yrs to get all of the bugs fixed (in part due to my farm being 330 miles away, etc.) BUT it has been all good for 4 years since then. Love the machine now. Near ideal for my tasks. And by the way in what I consider worst worst case, MF stood behind everything and eventually made it right. Mine was made in Brazil with what had to have been zero quality control exiting the factory. I do not have any feedback from local users of your "world tractor" made for a different market and in much different factory conditions. Please keep us updated on how the experience goes, durability, etc.

With my business, I sell mulch by the cubic yard, so I have a 1 cu yd bucket to fit loading into pickup trucks and small trailers. I also do field mowing and snow Removal. She will be kept busy. I will keep you updated. Good luck with your machine too.
