    First mow of the season

    I was thinking about mowing the back yard this weekend, but it'll have to dry off first -- looking at storms all day tomorrow and Friday. Burned pasture 2 weeks ago, so it's just now turning green - now I need to find a PTO shaft and back tire or a cheap used brush hog to replace the POS KK...

    Trailer Load Capacity ?

    The frame will handle more, and the axels should for short term stuff - the problem is if you habitually overload it a lot (like adding another 500 pounds or so of box blade or 800 pounds of filled tires) keep the bearings lubed and watch your air pressure and you should be OK for short hauls...

    purchase new tractor mahindra

    sounds like you were sold either a used tractor or a "hard use" demo machine. There may be a reason why the old dealer is no longer a dealer for them.

    Advice for new buyer

    I doubt you'll be disappointed in the quality and features on the Daedong. if you can get a test drive, do it - comfort of the seat and layout of the work platform is as important as $$ savings.

    3 point hitch

    the easiest way I know of to tell is pin size - IIRC, cat 0 has 3/4" pins and cat 1 has 7/8" pins. I use my loader and BB to scrape snow -- mostly pulling forward so I don't bend one of my lift arms.

    Root Ripper Bucket

    a) the 353 is a good machine and should handle any "normal" chores you will need a tractor for. b) I doubt it's big enough to clear 20" stumps with any efficiency. You'd probably be a lot better off cutting the trees down, limbing them and using it to move the logs and brush, (if you want the...

    branson 3520 pricing

    if that price includes a loader, it's a fair deal. If it doesn't include a loader you might want to see how much that will add to tyhe total cost before deciding to buy. I had a 3510 (smaller frame size) it was a great machine.

    Mail Box Destruction

    since mailbox destruction is supposed to be a federal felony, I hope the kid who filed was served with a warrant while in court as well as being cited by the judge with contempt for frivolous lawsuit. (it's your fault I was hurt while trying to vandalize your place?)

    I finally started my pond

    No worries - sorry i forgot you were home the whole time -- we'd have come and bugged you. :) Trip home was fine - rolled through the cold front about Dallas and turned off the AC for the rest of the trip home. Monday I slept in then dried out all the gear & did 3 loads of laundry.

    help

    check agrisupply, northern tool, or one of the advertising vendors for the forum - look for a "chain bar" for the front of your mower. It's a bolt on piece. Another option would be to mount some expanded steel on your ROPS as a debris shield.

    I finally started my pond

    campout was wet. :) we had rain Thursday afternoon, Saturday afternoon (gully washer), and then off and on most of Saturday night - so I had to pack up the camp wet... sorry we didn't make it over your way so you could meet Tara and she could meet Booger.
