I decided to hook up the bush hog today on the back of the MF35 and test it out in the fields to see whether or not it was a wise purchase.
It was going great, I was chewing up and spitting out all the 5' long grass, saplings and such.
I've taken this route a couple times the few days, just because I was kind of
getting used to how the tractor (my first) would handle the property.
On the way out of the same path I took in and then it happened, my tires were buried half-way. The ground was more water than mud in that location, even though it's a high point.
After about an hour of trying to get her out by putting large rocks, gravel
and long grass to try to both give a footing and support to the tires, I finally gave up, she was sitting on her frame.
So, I took the eventual walk, right down to my neighbor who loves and collects Belarus tractors, if he could do me a favour
He was more than
willing and we got it out.
There really isn't a point to this story beyond, I think I'm going to need to get myself a winch.
