I've been cruising this site for about 3 months and finally decided on and purchased my first tractor. I ordered a Mahindra 5010 HST cab that will be picked up tomorrow. I haven't been this excited in a long time. Dealer will be installing a diverter valve for a grapple today. Also purchased a 20' trailer, a quick hitch, a 6' MD cutter and an 60" grapple. :cool2:

AWESOME!!!! Post up some action pics when you get a chance. So you got a package price then? What brand trailer? Bruce

Lawrimore 83"x20' I'll try to get some pictures in the next few days.

Ok...here's a couple of shots.

I like it!!!! Nice trailer also. And it's raining there? Boy, out here is dry as heck, hot as ****, and So-Cal is on fire. B.

Thanks....yes...Rain. I know you guys need it out west, but I sure wish it would let up here for a bit. We've had almost 23 inches so far this year.

Congrats. I just purchased the same tractor and it was delivered a week ago. Gave it a hard workout last weekend and love the tractor, but wish I would have had the rear tires filled before it was brought home. The backend is a bit light when moving dirt or lifting with the pallet forks. I put a box blade on, it was better but still not quite enough. I got the 72" bucket, 48" pallet forks and waiting on the 60" grapple and 3 pt quick hitch. Just called this morning and told they would be in next Monday. In the picture is that the grapple with the bucket setting in it?

yep...the grapple is holding the bucket in the picture. I was wondering about filling the rear tires myself. I been looking at a 7' HD box blade that would add about 600 lbs. to the rear (also give me another reason to buy another needed implement

). If that doesn’t do the trick, I'll see about getting the rear tires loaded.
