Ok I got it, its a 25 HP New Holland sub compact tractor. Used it for the weekend what a fun unit. Tilled with a rear mounted roto tiller, cut with my 60 inch belly mower, used it to move large rocks with the FEL. I even used it last night and got a funny look from the wife, ok she thought I was insane, I used to to move a 18L water bottle from the car to the house. :laughing:
Had one scary moment though. I was using the belly mower to cut my ditch and had the mower set on the highest setting with the wheel set on the lowest setting to prevent it from bottoming out. All of a sudden the Tractor made this terrible loud noise and the motor started to slow down. I had thought I blew the engine on it, I was racing trying to stop the PTO or turn off the tractor and because I was so new did not instantly know where the controls were. I am not sure if the tractor stalled or I finally got it stopped.
At that time I did not know what it was, the loud sound. All's I could thing about was a broken crank arm or something. I was kinda freaked out. So later on the wife wanted me to go back and cut where it was un-level and I tried to explain what happened, it did it again so I stopped. She said it was a tractor and was just bottoming out, I explained even if you abuse a tank enough they will blow up. Short of leveling out the ditch (which I don't have equipment to do with yet) what can I do to prevent which I assume is my belly mower bottoming out. It makes a heck of a racket when it does.
