New old guy here

raysmithtx · Sep 15, 2018

We bought about 25 acres in Nocona, Texas that has never been cleared so I have my work cut out for me. I bought a used Mahindra 4025 and a used Bobcat E35 mini excavator to help get the work done.

Steep learning curve for me. The tractor seems to have been fairly well maintained but the excavator is in pretty rough shape.

I have new tracks coming and am in the process of changing all the filter on it. Can't seem to get the cab filter off because there's a lot of slippery hydro fluid on it and I can't seem to get the plug out of the hydro pump to get the air out of the system but I'm still working on how to get those two things done.

Been reading this forum for hours and hours. Lots of info here but it's difficult to find exactly what I'm looking for.

At my experience level I don't expect to be able to help anyone else but I will if I can.

Great forum and glad to be here.

Good morning Ray. Welcome to TBN and this forum. Everybody learns from other peoples experiences. You will have much to share with all of us. Just start that land clearing slowly - learn and be careful.

Yes, WELCOME. Safety first.

Great sentiment expression, OOSIK.

Welcome to the forum!

I noticed you already posted over in our parts and repairs section. The Mahindra section is a good place to post a question too.
