This is actually more tractor than I ever though I would need. As I have noticed in the past *the work expands to fit the machine capability!

Right now I'm in the process of building a home on some new land that we bought. The *place has been neglected for about 30 years so there is plenty of work to do. So I have the following to do items:

General maintenance (mowing and clean up)
Putting in and maintaining *gravel drive
Clearing *brush *trees, stumps, lots of them
Building a garage, including digging the foundation
improving or creating a proper drainage system, including repair of an old tile system
Building a barn
septic system? not sure if I am allowed but looking into it
House, will do basic site work including utility lines but I will not dig the foundation
....and what ever I can help the neighbor with.

I'm sure I'll think of other things as soon..

They are very nice machines... We were using ours late into the night yesterday. We live in the mountains where land tends to be steep and access is often narrow. The M59 is so much more stable, maneuverable, and powerful than our previous tractors that we just don't think about those things much anymore.

To be fair the M59 does have its fair share of new model design mistakes and strange decisions. A long warranty provides peace of mind.
The parking brake being on the wrong side of the seat is an inexplicable oddity, but difficult for me to figure out how to change. While other things like seat height or not having a convenient tool box - can be dealt with easily enough.

With 30 hrs it probably came with whatever options were on it. Does it have any? Which ones did you get?

Options reminds me of that folding hood protector on ours and frankly I would not have ordered in spite of how nice it looks - but luckily it came already installed.
