Today I bucked up more pine logs with the help of the 4540. There are two more left but they'll get cut & split and then brought over to the outside fireplace, once it's wet out again, we'll have a nice fire.

I have taken time to buck up or split some trees/rounds that were down, maple, cherry, beech and some white pine. Pictures 3935 & 37 are the maple rounds I s & s, 3989 are pine splits, 3993 are cherry splits and 3995 are the beech splits. All the firewood pictured, mother nature put on the...

Picture 4007 is a new trail I'm working on, that should be where the first leaner we took down was, 4009 is coming in the backside of a new trail I'm cleaning up, 4010 is another new trail I cleaned up a bunch of dead pine that leads to 4009, 4011 is part of 4009 I'm cleaning up which is clean...

I've just been using the 4540 moving some pine splits, dragging out a semi broken off tree at the stump and digging a few smaller stumps out of some trails I plow in the winter. 4015 is the tree before I cut it near the stump, 4019 is after the second cut, 4024 is after I dragged it out with...

We have a Mahindra 4540, we live in the foothills of the Adirondacks in NYS so we can get temps 20 or 30 below. We have a block heater and a battery maintainer that stays on it for the winter, so far with those two things on it , it starts fine even in the coldest temps. The block heater will...

Here are some videos, not sure if one that will help you is here. https://www.wrlonginc.com/vk-videos

I used the 4540 with the forks for some lifting so I could clean off the pine logs (save the back too) and then buck them up.

Once you pick your new ride up, pictures are a must. Thank you for your service. Zap

A kid (at the time ) I coached in hockey for three years finally won the Stanley Cup when he played with Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020 but because of covid, wasn't able to bring it home until 2021. He had a party and we did get invited, I was able to get the Mahindra hat in there and they gave us...

We have our battery on a maintainer/charger all year, we can hit minus 30 up here in the winter so the m/c will save your ass. Our 4540 is a 2016, so far nothing has gone wrong with it. The backhoe has allowed us to have some stump less trails around the house lot. I plow a few driveways along...

I hadn't used the 4540 in about three weeks so today it helped me out on some lifting of pine logs. I still have more logs that I'll use the tractor on and then after that, digging out some stumps. We heat with wood and some years back we started burning pine during the shoulder season, this...

I agree on taking the five screws out, it can be a small pain in the arse after a good days work. I've never had a problem with the 4540 overheating either but I'm not doing the work you are. I wonder if you could put a front end bra on a tractor to stop some of the dust from getting into a...

After my guess of 1300, I checked it the next day and it was 1334. I used it two days in a row moving snow and plowing out trails which put another 10 hours on it.

This is just a guess but 1300 hours, no problems yet.

I'm glad that I moved the snow the other day, I'll end up moving some of the snowfall from overnight. I think we received around 7 inches, I used the 4540 opening up the driveway and the RTV for the cleanup and plowing some trails in the woods so the wife can walk.

We have 7 to 14 inches of wet heavy snow coming in starting tonight so today I moved some snow off the sides of the driveway, that will give me more room for snow storage in those spots. Picture 3487 is before I started moving snow from that area and 3491 is after, I gained over 12 feet on that...

I'm pretty sure I already sanded our driveway more times than all of last winter, the three point sander on the back of the tractor makes it easier.

Tuesday they're forecasting another 4 to 8 for our area, sounds like we might have some rain too, we'll see.

We have the ATV tires, we also have chains for the back but I haven't used them yet. We didn't get the snow they had predicted but there was enough that I used the RTV today. I did two driveways and some trails before calling it a day.

It's a little tank, I use it plowing the driveway and some trails in the woods we use for walking. I usually have four bags of tube sand in the back during the winter. I also had them put in a block heater, we can get some cold azz temps here but if you plug it in for x amount of time before...

All the zerks I sized with a Grease Fitting Thread Tester, Type Gage from Grainger were a Brass Metric M8 X 1.25 into a steel pin, Grainger has the same size zerk but in a zinc plated steel. I ordered some so I could have extra since my dealer didn't have the size in stock, the threads are the...

Since the sun was out with no wind and 15 degrees, I started my work day plowing three trails I hadn't done in about a month. After the plowing was done, I moved a bunch from one area that gets sun to another area in the woods. Picture 0556 is the sun through some trees after I was done plowing...

I moved some snow from just off the driveway today, it will give me between 15 - 20 feet of more room if I need it. Picture 0550 is what I started with, 0552 & 0554 is after I moved the snow to the area in picture 0553.

If we have rain coming in, I've been using ours for hauling branches over to the outdoor fireplace, keeps the house property trails clean. I'm still hauling firewood out with our RTV, once I get the next two face cord stacked, we'll have 60 face cord up. If I put more work in, I can eat more...

I picked up a tread tester and then bought what I needed for our 4540.

This is an older thread but I was wondering if any of these members can help. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/2810-hydraulic-level.254671/

Did you test the battery with a load tester? I had a battery on our Rhino Yamaha test fine but under load it was bad.

Todays work.

I've been digging some stumps up in different areas before the snow falls, makes plowing these areas easier.

The company our dealer used was Paladin, I believe ours is a series 114 but I'll check that tomorrow and get some measurements for you. https://www.paladinattachments.com/products/ffc-ss-snow-blade-114

I finished splitting and stacking the two face cord of Beech but before that I cleaned the filters and checked the oil in the MTD 20 ton. Pictures 1894 & 1895 are what's left of the Beech pile and the Maple.

I split and stacked four loads of Beech today, picture 1884 & 85 is what's left of the Beech pile. I'm hoping for two face cord so we'll see how much we have after I'm done. It was a great day for it, not many bugs at all. When I came in it was 60 degrees.

I went down it again today with the rhino on my way to get more beech firewood, there are a few spots that need fill before I go up it. I have some rotten basswood that has been down for years that I'll put in the lowest spots and then add chips and pine needles, that will work for a short...

I've been working with the Rhino making some trails wide enough for the Kubota, I'll be opening up this trail off one of our highest hills. If I have the RTV in low and in four wheel drive, do you think I can walk up it with a load of wood or a splitter? I had a person tell me some of the grade...

Sorry for not getting on here sooner, we added two lights up front on the top of the cab and one on the back, we also added the screen for protection of the back window. I don't have the Boss V-Plow model number inside but I see you went with something else. We did go with the ATV tires and...

We put in two loads of firewood this morning, the first load was all Yellow Birch and the second (pictured) was mostly Cherry.

We have a sander for the Mahindra 4540 3 point, I'm looking for a company that makes a sander to pull behind a UTV or RTV, if something happened to me this would make it easy for the wife. Thanks

Here are some pics of our 3rd function kit, I'll get the name off it tomorrow.

We're looking at the Kubota RTV - X1100C, we live here in the Foothills of the Adirondacks with some nice hills. We have a 2007 Rhino Special Edition 450 with just over 7500 working miles on it and never had any problems getting up the hills, how do you think the RTV - X1100C will do? Also what...

We have a 2016 Mahindra 4540 with a backhoe with just over 1000 hours on it, I was just wondering what the trade in value would be if we were looking to buy the 2638 with Cab with A/C and heat. I had a worker from the local Mahindra dealer tell me our 4540 is in excellent shape, it's never been...

I'm thinking about trading in our 2016 4540 with the backhoe for a Mahindra HST, I haven't had any problems with the 4540 but it would be much easier for the wife driving an HST, we have 933 hours on it most of that has been plowing the driveway and trails. How is the 2638 or any other Mahindra...

We hit 80 again today but the clouds moved in so it wasn't that bad. I took two loads (one pictured) to the wood dump in the utility trailer After I came back from the wood dump, I put five gallons of diesel in the 4540 and took three loads of chips to the trail I've been working on. I also...

Yesterday I moved around 11 or 12 loads of chips to what was a low area in the trail, this should make this part of the trail much better when it's wet or just when going for a ride.

I bucked up two of the ash trees that are in the gully and then pulled one out with the 4540 that's down further from the first couple of pics. I did move some of the rounds from pic 9103 to the splitter area.

There's a spot you can set the opening for the feeder gate so all you need to do is push the handle down from the tractor seat to the pin in the set location. If you have a cab then the handle might need to cut down.

The Sundown 180 is all hooked up, I had the sand/salt shield down all the way but the next time I'll raise it so it will pretty much do the width of the driveway. It beats standing on the ice throwing sand on the driveway. Just a few pictures of the 180 and the little bit I sanded. We almost...

We're looking for a sander/spreader for our tractor, the 3 pt is 31 hp. Something with a poly hopper/tub or something we can sand the driveway that we can pull behind the rhino.

I moved a bunch of snow with the 4540 yesterday, I'll finish a few areas that need plowing tomorrow or Wednesday.

After it stopped raining this afternoon, I removed the slush from our driveway. In pictures 2083 & 84 we have a few small trees down across the brook where the ice did damage last winter. Off the bank on our side, the water is up to my waist so if I can't pull them out from our side then I call...

We received 5-6 inches of wet heavy snow overnight so I did our driveway and the neighbors too. After some lunch, I did some roof raking and plowing some trails around the house (not pictured) so the dog would have a place we could walk it. The power is starting to go on and off.

This is our first tractor (2016, 4540) with the backhoe,forks and a plow with the third function kit, it's been a good tractor with no problems with just over 641 hours on it. Very early on it had a code update they did here and they also added a inline restrictor coming out of the top of...

I changed the direction of the drain for the gutter, the water should run across the driveway into the woods instead of at the new garage and to the left. I hand dug everything and then got some sand with the 4540 to fill the trench halfway up where the drain was. We also put some wood with...

I'm looking to buy a snow deflector for the top of our snowplow, what's everyone using and where is the best place to buy one?

We have a 4540 that we bought new in 2016, it wasn't that the temp gauge was bad, they had to put in a inline restrictor coming out of the radiator which brought the temp up. Before the inline restrictor it was like the temp gauge was broke but it just wasn't getting warm enough for a reading...

I did some digging later this afternoon and then brought it near the area we'll be using it.

The 4540 went in for it's 500 hour checkup (598 on it when it went in) so I had them change all the fluids,oil and filters, everything was fine. This winter the 4540 will be inside a new 28 x 36 garage which should be finished before the end of August....depending on the weather. The pad and...

I pulled the stump out of the hole today and then put the pallet forks on to move it to the stump pile. I did dig three smaller stumps but the batteries were dead. The three smaller stumps I took out today opened up an area so I can dig a bigger stump out tomorrow depending on the weather. The...

I moved some chips with the 4540 to a trail I started working on last year, I moved 5-6 loads today.

I did the below yesterday, today I cleaned some zerks on the backhoe that weren't excepting grease and then greased it. I'm thinking that I pulled 5-7 stumps today, nothing huge but the last stump picture took some time.I did get about four bucket loads of sand to help fill a couple of holes...

We have one on our Mahindra 4540, this is our second winter with it and I really like it. I haven't bent anything yet but I don't go hard into the banks already there. I use it on our gravel driveway and on some trails in the woods. We can change the angle of the plow from the seat, we almost...

Here's the picture from our book.

We had 5 degrees for the whole day today, we received what we think was 14 inches of snow from the storm so I let the 4540 get warm and then plowed our driveway and some trails in the woods and then headed down to the neighbors to plow the driveway.

Hi, This is our first tractor so I decided that it would be a good idea to join a tractor forum, so far the Mahindra 4540 has been trouble free but if I do run into anything then this will be the site I ask my questions. I don't think I posted here when I joined but if I did, please excuse the...

Before the rains came I moved two more loads of pine chips and then moved this cable off the forest floor.

I finally got the rest of the better pine bucked up and brought over to the splitting pile, four loads. I then brought two more loads of pine branches with the pallet forks over to the fireplace for burning. Before that Dave from the Wood Chop Shop came over to install a inline...

Just a small load of branches that I burned down.

I dug a few small stumps up and then grabbed some sand to fill the holes. I then switched to the pallet forks so I could grab a few loads of pine branches so I could burn since it's wet out. We've had the 4540 since last August without a problem, I think the hour meter was at 234 or 235 at the...

Just a few small jobs done with the 4540 today, moving some Maple rounds from a wind damaged tree and dug up a few small stumps from our new winter plow zone.

I cleaned the front axle and more then applied POR, the batteries are charging for the camera so no before pics. Next year before I put on the backhoe, I'll do the back axle. Pic 0551 on top of the axle I had three small areas that rust started, in pic 0556 on both sides on the bottom there...

Just some digging of two stumps that came out together and then moved with some pallet forks. I did get about four small loads from our small sand pit. I think the 4540 has just over 230 hours on it, we've had it for 14 months.

We dropped two pines so the house would get more sun and the plowing in the winter would be easier. We used the pallet forks to load up the trailer and haul some branches to the town wood dump.

Thanks.

We have a Mahindra 4540 and we're looking for a sander for the driveway during the winter, would any of your fertilizer spreaders work if we wanted to use the sand you can buy in tubes? If so, is there any need for any electrical hookups for the spreader on the back of a tractor? Thanks

Last winter was our first winter with a tractor which we used for plowing the driveway and trails leading to our wood stacks, our biggest snowfall was 22 or 23 inches overnight which the 4540 walked through without chains but the back tires are loaded (correct term?) with beet juice.

Here's a few pictures digging out some stumps of some dead pine I took down with a chainsaw.

I like the job the 4540 does plowing compared with the truck, here are a few more pics of some plowing last year. The area coming through the pines is wider since we took more pine down. It's my first experience with a tractor so hopefully it stays good. How's the 2555 HST treating you?

We bought the Mahindra 4540 about 14 months ago along with the backhoe, so far the only things it needed was a code update and one of the clamps needed tightening to stop a small antifreeze leak. I've put in enough trails around the house for walking and the UTV but since getting the 4540 we've...
