New to tractors

[TrinityMtnMan]

Hello, I am relatively new to the tractor world but already getting lots of use around my property in northern California. I recently got a great deal on an older model (2004?) Branson 3510 with rotary mower, rotary tiller and box scraper attachments. I'm currently researching buying the universal skid steer attach conversion made for my tractor, to allow skid steer attachments. I never new this system even existed and that there are so many implements available.

Welcome to the community. It's handy, but if you don't know what all you're going to use, maybe hold off. For me, it's nice to have to swap back and forth between my bucket and snow plow, but many skid steer attachments are pretty heavy.

I am new to the tractor world, and have ton's to learn. Picked up a few acres and now it is time to clear it. I thought a used tractor would help. Did for the first day .... now it is sitting in the bush stuck in second gear...

It's okay. I got in hurry one day when I parked mine to go get my kid and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get it started when I came back to it. Had to leave town for a couple days and so it sat where I had to leave it til I got home. Finally figured out that I bumped the PTO lever as I got out in a hurry so it was no longer in neutral and therefore wouldn't start.
