Greetings from Maine

[baldwin22]

My real name is Keith. I live in West Baldwin Maine. I work at an Insurance company as a Enterprise Architect (don't ask me what that is nobody at my company is sure). Anyway my home is on 4 1/2 acres in western maine. I am due to retire in 4 - 5 years. I just bought my first real tractor. A Mahindra 3016 with FEL and backhoe. I also bought a used Woods 5' Rototiller. Here are my plans for the tractor.

• Help clear about 2 acres of scond growth poplar. The land was stumped and now I have nucanse 10' trees.
• Plan on planting 6 apple trees.
• Rototill a couple of small plots for vegtable garden
• I lost old house to a fire and have 15 large granite blocks to use for landscaping
• Get a trailer to help haul 7 grandchildren around the property:thumbsup:
• When snow piles up on 900' driveway in March will use FEL to move piles.
• If I get a trailer hope to use tractor to help neighbors
• Become a gentleaman farmer when I retire.

Hope to learn alot here on tractor maintenance and ideas on tractor use.

Keith

Greetings from a Scarborough native. I think I know what you do for a living, I'm a UNIX systems engineer....or so they tell me. We have similar aspirations, but I wish I was as close as you to retirement! Welcome to TBN, there's lots of good stuff here, please ask if you have any questions!

Hey that's great getting a response right away from almost a neighbor. I have only had my tractor a couple of weeks, so haven't piled up any questions yet. Thanks for the greeting.
