This tractor is around 2 weeks old or so now. I was told I wouldn't be able to clear land with it.... that was incorrect. Infact I did so with the 42" land pride rotary cutter... i won't say it was efficient but in alot of cases it was the right size to get inbetween stumps (which brings up another problem ... too many stumps to deal with - i'd be there for 9 years trying to dig them out with the back hoe - the smaller ones i could deal with, with the backhoe - the 2+ ft stumps looks like they will be challenging).

As far as danage

I have a ding my floor board the grill guard isn't sitting right - i kinda rammed a stubborn tree i was trying to push down (I did win - but it looks like it bent my brush guard a little). The day old brush hog has seen better days... no longer new (nothing a hammer won't fix). I did have my bxpanded skid plate on - and that thing is worth its weight in gold.

A large pipe wrench (and sometimes a cheater pipe to make the handle a couple feet longer) is pretty handy for pulling out damage on a bush hog caused by backing into stumps, rocks, largish trees, etc.

I’ve gotten pretty efficient at it after a good bit of practice. IMG_2506.jpeg
