new 4035

Finally a little over a year now, I've been waiting and now got my forever tractor on its way! Got a good deal I think on a leftover 4035 hst and loader. 24800 with taxes just couldn't come up with the extra for a jd 5045e.

Just read the manuals..only need to change engine oil/ filter at 50, and hydro filter, but not hydro oil. Nice.

Don't forget to keep an eye on your air and fuel filters. The fuel filter is a cheap item, and you need to purge the dust from the air filter; blowing out the dust from the inside out.

Yeah, tractors like to breath easy, just glad to not replace all the hydrostat oil at 50 hrs.

On the fuel filters Mahindra recommends changing every 6 months.

Building my counter weight and am using a drawbar, with a extended receiver hitch welded up with some rebar throughout, ive got 11 bags of 80 pd ready mix in there, and room for more, how much counter wt should i use? is close to 900 pounds enough? 2400 lb lift on the 120 loader.

Go with the 900 for now. Leave a couple of loops of rebar out of the concrete. Use it for a bit if ya need more add it. My counter weight for the 4530 is currently at about 600lbs. It could be heavier. I think the 900 will be ok but I'd keep my options open if I needed more.

That was my thought, see how it goes
