New 8560

[swhouston]

Today was my second time out on my new 8560 (4wd, w/loader) - I love it - I'm pulling a heavy duty Rhino cutter (7') - agonized over red vs. orange

Have a smaller orange tractor - it has been a workhorse with almost no probs

So far so good on the Mahindra - the cutter weighs about 1,850 lbs in 3 pt config - no sweat for this tractor

Love the forward/reverse shuttle - my old tractor doesn't have this feature - makes moving dirt around MUCH easier

I'm new to the forum, so howdy to fellow Mahindra owners

Congrats! Play safe." Pic's when you can." Did you get one with a cab? :thumbsup:

Didn't go with a cab - just the tractor w/loader

SWhouston,
Welcome to TBN. Will you be getting a canopy? I didn't realize trees got that tall down in Sugarland.:confused2: Exactly where was the photo taken?
hugs, Brandi

We've got lots of big trees in my neighborhood, in fact the name the development is Greatwood - but the pic is from my property near Trinity, TX. Good eye!

Almost forgot - thanks for the "Welcome" and I probably wont get a canopy due to the amount of trees/limbs I'll be working around

I thought that photo's background looked more like my neighborhood than Sugarland.
As for limbs and a canopy, I keep a pair of nippers behind my seat and trim limbs as I get near to them. But you can't catch everything while working the tractor hard. I caught a large limb on the canopy and bent it a little. But overall the canopy is worth it. I added work lights under the front of the canopy so I can finish that loader work past dark.

Thanks for the suggestion - what canopy do you have on your unit?

SWHouston,
My unit? That is a funny thing to call the Big RED Beast! I don't know what brand the canopy is. It is aluminum diamond plate over insulation with a steel frame. The forward and aft work lights and temperature guage mount to the angle iron frame. It cost $349.00 back in 2007.
