Mahindra 4540

View attachment 323816I was able to use the tractor last week to move some wood down to the stacking/processing area and bring up a lot of seasoned wood. Temps are back in the 40's and 50's and rain. Everything is a muddy mess right now. I want some freezing temps back I'm sick of the rain and mud.

What types of seasoned wood did you have in that load? We're above freezing during the day with rain with some nights dropping down below freezing, lots of ice north of us by about four miles.

I'm pretty sure they've closed the snowmobile trails in our county from what I saw on Facebook.

I moved tulip and some sassafras that needs to be split and stacked. The stuff I moved closer to the house to burn was locust a little ash mixed in but almost all 3-4 year old locust.

Today I did put the plow on the 4540 and then hooked up the hydraulic lines, everything worked fine. Before the end of October, I'll grease the plow.

I moved a few ton of crushed lime stone for flooring into a shed i just build to store alfalfa with my 4540 yesterday. Love the tractor. After so many years of tearing myself up doing everything by hand it really makes you appreciate having it. That 3 ton would have taken me 2 days with the wheel barrow and I would be beat. Closest we could get the gravel was almost 100 yards. Took an hour with the Mahindra. Right now we are saving for a hydraulic driver so we pound tpost. Can't wait to get that.

The 4540 has really helped us out too, between digging up some stumps and then plowing in the winter, it makes work much easier when my arse is in the seat.

I ended up using the tractor most of the weekend to move wood and do some mowing. I'm sure we are getting close to done with cutting grass

I'm hoping just 1 more time for any grass cutting here, usually we're done with the mowing for the year.

I have been able to put some time on the tractor this year between summer projects and then all the new wood. It has been a great/dry year to get stuff done with the tractor.
