Bought a 4530.

Bubble this up. Still waiting for Mahindra spec on the 75B backhoe. Have been using the tractor for a couple of weeks. Just got done digging a few stumps. Still learning how to "chew" at the roots, but I'll get better I'm sure. Need to remove the seat and figure how to bolt it a few inches forward. OK maybe 6-10 inches. The seat for the backhoe does not go completely vertical and it gets kind of hard on the back. I wish the seat for tractor would flip up. That would make things easier. All-in-all I'm pleased. Thinking this winter of having a dolly welded up for the backhoe. Smallest wheels I can find are 6". Hope that is enough clearance.

Wedge,
Congradulations! Are you keeping the 4000? I "upgraded" from a Ford 3055, which is a Ford 3000 front end attached to a 4000 rear end, made in England and exported to France. I wish I would have kept it.
hugs, Brandi

Your so right. I didn't trade it in. I sold it on consignment on the dealer's lot for more than I paid for it.

I guess good used tractors will always be worth at least what they originally sold for at least if not more! :thumbsup:
