    Nothing like new equipment! That's a very nice machine. The hay fields don't stand a chance against that bush-hog. These fields remind me of a friend's place in New Brunswick, Canada. he raises cattle and he has a unique way to get them to eat more grass. He has a small section of land (just over 8 acres) divided into small sections. Every morning he opens up a section in front of the cattle and they move into fresh grass. He closes off the section behind them. It takes 20 days to move them through the 20 sections, each one with three weeks growth of fresh grass, The reasoning is that cattle will eat more fresh grass than they would if just left in one large pasture. He's from New Zealand and they do this type of rotational farming there, making best use of small pastures. He's had the local agricultural school students tour his operation because it is productive and unique to the area. Enjoy your new ride, Brad!

    Fret not Brad, part of the learning curve and unfortunately that curve gets more difficult to navigate as we age!
    Looks like an awfully nice office to work out of!
    I’m somewhat surprised that property was set aside, looks like it will make for pretty nice hay ground.
    Bless’ns to ya, Tedd

    Glad you got going again. Frank traded his old T56 for a newer T56 just before haying. He’d liked one with a little more horsepower but the expense was to much. When he first had his older one the DEF fluid would lock the tractor from starting. Had guys out a few times. Now he tells me to run it at over 1200 & then the def burns off. I don’t think that was the only reason it would lock up.

      Oh wow! My tractor is just small enough to where it doesn’t require DEF!

    FYI take the loader off when using a rear implement on hilly areas, it lowers your CG.

    Yep. Mine burns fuel fast when mowing.

    New Holland makes a very good tractor - you will be pleased with it.

    It is good to have these saftey swittches but when it something you are not familar with it is too easy to overlook the problem. A better indicator of the issue would have been helpful

      You’re exactly right Joseph, but I did feel silly, 😂

    What brand of old brush cutter is that? What a cool design!

      Gckshea, I looked it up once, but forgot the manufacturer. I’m going to go look again, the data plate is still readable. Get back to you!

      D- i must’ve hit something I never saw. Shear bolt had broken so maybe I bottomed out or something, although there wasn’t any big scuff marks in the field or anything. I really don’t know.

      The main thing you need to learn is to stay off slopes when they are wet. Wet grass will kill you in a tractor on slopes. Nice tractor!
