More on the tractor

This tractor deserves a dedicated post, because it is awesome.  No, really.  It's incredible.

Besides the fact that we got a smoking good deal on it, it's just a phenomenal beast.

(It's a 2001 Cub Cadet 7305, 30HP 4WD Diesel w/ front loader, by the way.  Made by Mitsubishi and  basically identical to the Mahindra 3015).




While it had very low hours upon purchase (just 130 or so), it was 11 years old already.  So it needed all the basic maintenance right away.  Which turns out to mean a lot of gallons of engine oil and hydraulic oil.



It didn't have a cup-holder!  Can you believe that?  This one is gyroscopic, meant for a boat - so you can get funky off road with minimal spillage.

Of course, we had to fully outfit the beast with all the pertinent implements and accessories.

Pallet forks, for lifting stuff

Loader bucket teeth, for ripping into stuff (like dirt or ice)
