I wanna say it was about 9 gals

It did not come with one, I bought the cover and a rear bumper from armordillo guards. A little salty but they have saved me on many occasions.

Yeah it’s been great, very durable and when I mow it looks like it was done with a lawn mower😊

Hey Mark, hope all is well:) we’ve been super busy and haven’t had much time for anything really. But yes I am really impressed with the new cutter, it’s already saved me a ton of time cleaning fence rows. Probably be dropping 2nd cut hay soon so I’ll try to get some more up.

Definitely need to change it and the fluid asap. Hopefully the noise is just from not enough fluid getting thru the clogged filter and it’s not a burnt up pump.

No problem, it’s not a bad. Going to have to do mine again soon.

Almost 88” in the rear

Just purchased a brand new one with the cast wheel option. Widened out to widest setting, then added 3” brotek spacers on each side - I’m sitting over 92” outside of tread to outside of tread.

Mine is at one of the widest settings and sits about 87” up front and 88” on rear. Easiest thing to do would be to build drive over ramps if the deck itself is wide enough. Good luck.

@@blakeperkins4133 id probably have to run the skinner setting then. My deck is slightly wider than the inner fender width. My the time a get a m4 maybe a deckover gooseneck will be in the budget. Thanks for the response!

@@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 I’d just build some drive over ramps for the trailer. I made some years ago before I got my gn and they worked great. Only on when I needed.

Hmmm.. I’d say a shade over 2gph mowing and baling on average. Lots of factors go into fuel consumption but that should give you a general idea.

Hello, and yes. You just have to turn on the ac when you hit the defrost button because it doesn’t automatically turn on like cars. I don’t think the rear wiper is necessary but if you are blowing snow it might be nice to have. Only time I thought it would be handy is when it gets really dusty. I just hose all the windows off real quick when headed to the field. Make sure you get the led lights on the cab tho. Hope this helps and good luck😊 awesome tractors

@@blakeperkins4133 super good to know… thank you and this really helps me make a decision (also considering a JD 5075E-much cheaper but not as feature rich as the M4, but I have a great JD dealer really close so I am considering the JD). Peace…

Hey Mark, yeah I haven’t posted anything for a bit. Been really busy, and it is hard to believe we’ve had it that long. Crazy part is how much they’ve went up over the past 4yrs. It sounds like you have something that is doing the job for you currently which makes it hard to spend the extra money to get a new one. Kinda like just buying a shinier hammer😆

It was an awesome machine. Mine had 1500hrs on it when I sold it and the only reason I did was because we bought a ctl and already had two other tractors. It was a workhorse and in the years we owned the only thing I did was normal maintenance and battery.

Hello, well it will depend on several factors of the land but I mowed about 13acres last week and it was maybe 3ish hours. I went from a 6’ to this 12’ and was significantly less than half the time. Hope this helps, sooo worth the investment!

@@blakeperkins4133 yes this does help. Thanks.

Hey Mark! Hope all is well😊 and it must be my fancy camera work making it look that way😂

Yes, it’s been a great tractor. If you get one I’d highly recommend at least getting the big tires on them.

@@blakeperkins4133 thank you for the quick response. My local dealer just sold their last two deluxe models so now I have to wait for them to get ahold of another. It’ll have the 34 inch rear tires and all I’m adding is the third function at this point.

@@KSN2019 the front tires are the concern. If ordering I’d do a deluxe with lsw radials:) and a 3rd function would be a great addition

@@blakeperkins4133 yep, they come standard now, the M7060 I was looking at was going to require the lsw upgrade but not the M4

Hey boltaction! I watched your video before I initially bought my rhino. Thanks btw. And yeah I won’t even put it behind my 50hp tractor because I don’t think it has enough weight or power to pull it safely. I haven’t bottomed it out on a ditch yet but thanks for the warning, I usually keep it high on irregular stuff but I will be more cautious next time. I have noticed on bumps in the fields sometimes if you hit just right it will try to high center. Thanks for the heads up, I do freaking love this mower tho!

@@blakeperkins4133 Yeah you will be fine in fields I was doing something I should never have done and drove bellied one wing hard enough to kill the tractor! Mover still works fine just that one shaft has a wobble that I am going to have to address.

@@boltactionshooter ha… well sometimes you gotta push the limits!

I wouldn’t go any darker, I think it provides plenty of protection from the sun and still not bad at night. The hardware stayed but some of the trim came off. The curved side windows had to come out also.

Awesome thanks.

No, not in 6th gear. If it’s in 12th it has a speed limiter at 26mph.

@@blakeperkins4133 mine will only do 24.7

@@witcherfarms6811 hmmm… you’d think they would all be the same.

@@blakeperkins4133 it shows up a little light under the rpm gage

Yeah I wish they would have put a bit more thought into that. I’ve gotten pretty decent at kicking on and off so it’s not so violent but shouldn’t have to do that. The bush hog is most noticeable.

320/70r24 and 420/75r34

I just mowed some very thick and tall grass with it and it did great. It was actually a hay field I used to cut and would buy the same combo if I did it again. I would pair a 95hp with a 15’.

I have owned a TS12 for a couple years and pull it with a Kubota L6060 with 53hp at the PTO. The cutter is rated 35-60HP. I cut tall pasture grass and don’t have any issues with hp.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’d say you are probably right, I’ll look into getting one.

@@blakeperkins4133 I have a 90 that I bought a few years ago and I made my bumper out of 1" plat steel and it has saved the back door many times from being hit . Armadillo company makes them also but pricey

@@johnhurt1583 yes I saw the one that company has… I’m going to do some more research and I have a local cnc shop working on something:) hopefully have it before I smash into something!

Hey Jim, I will try to remember to get one tomorrow. I measured it a while ago and meant to post but I forgot. I think it was 14’ without the bucket.

@@blakeperkins4133 Thanks! I am interested to know!

16’ 5” from tip to tail

@@blakeperkins4133 thank you!

Well I didn’t have my bucket on but it’s about 14’

Thanks Mark, it was definitely a change! If you could operate one with pedals then you could easily handle this thing, super simple to operate and so far has been a great addition. I love how easy it is to swap attachments! That old l5030 is an awesome machine and will be missed but we sold it to a very nice young couple just down the road:)

Oh wow that’s a lot of snow!! I really like those r4 tires, had them on my 50hp tractor and loved them. Thanks for watching:)

Hey Al Swanson, you can notice a little when you are standing looking at it in person but man it does a good job:) they are great machines, hope it was helpful!

Well sucks you waited so long and couldn’t get it but at least you got something that can do some work. I’ve been really pleased with mine these past few yrs and would buy again.

Hey Jesse, I appreciate the advice. After some seat time with the mower I did figure out that lining up the rear tire with the inside disc and keeping it as far as possible from the already cut helped a lot. But as far as the outer swath board my mower doesn’t have one. It just has the taller disc hub that is supposed to help with that. We’ll be mowing again here shortly:)

None taken, you know I almost went up to the m5-111 but didn’t for several reasons. I’ve had this one for about 3yrs and it’s been the perfect size for my operation. It’s really been great so far, now if I was farming several hundred acres or more that would be a completely different story. My buildings on the other hand have almost always been too small after a couple years,

In my research I looked at Mahindra, I liked what they offered and was ready to move forward. I called the dealer I planned to use and he told me they quit carrying the models similar size to M4 due to Exhaust system issue. That turned me off Mahindra. I'm new to Tractors and didn't want to start with something with a known issue .

Thanks, it’s been great so far:)

There are lots of bigger tractors out there

Thanks Houndsman, hope it was helpful:)

There aren’t any that I know of. It’s not bad, would be helpful when you put it in thru the back window to have a helper. Really not bad tho just take your time.

Absolutely! I’m a pretty hard learner:/ thanks for checking it out. Also enjoyed your poo slinging video:) have a good one

Congrats! I think you will be very pleased with it. Great sized machine:)

Hello, I am very satisfied with mine. Saves me hours mowing! My friend came and checked mine out and ordered the ts10 for his tractor. I wanna say his was 6weeks out when he ordered it. Very nice cut and nicely built. Only thing is double check everything after you get it from your dealer. I’ll try to get up a review video the next time I get it out. Thanks

That’s awesome! It has been great for us as well but you definitely are using it more than me:) ours has about 300hrs now and it has been great. You’ll have to let us know how it’s doing in the next couple years when it gets some hours on it:)

Only complaint is I didn’t do it 2yrs ago. I have probably 50acres on it already. I’ll try to get a review video up the next time I use it. Well built heavy duty machine.

@@blakeperkins4133 I just got some trade numbers back on my M59 that I mow with and it is gonna be awfully hard to say no to upgrading to this m4. I look forward to more videos.

@@ChaseLandMgmt Well I have about 300hrs on mine so far of mainly pto work and I wouldn’t want to be without it and would buy the same tractor again if that means anything to you. Good luck:)

@@blakeperkins4133 also good to hear! I wanted a tracked skid steer for a while, but I enjoy mowing and I have taken on a lot of larger properties that just need maintenance mowing and a tractor will mow circles around a tracked machine and you can actually stretch out in the cab. I think this is the right choice.

I agree!:) when I changed the tire and wheel combination it just made it a different tractor. Sometimes it’s worth getting a couple extra options. I probably would’ve ended up getting a M5 before but now I can’t see it leaving the property. Thanks for watching.

plus when you go to the bigger transmission you get a bigger hydraulic pump more flow

All front axles have stops built into the axle housing that prevent unlimited travel/rotation of the axle side to side. If not the front tires would be into the loader all the time.

@@genewilliams7497 That is correct, but when it comes to hillside stability, like you said in the video, by the time the tractor has rotated as far as the axle stops, you are too far gone to be able to stop rolling over. I have my rear wheels spaced reasonably wide for stability, and my front wheels not quite as wide but mainly for visual appearance. Where ever anybody has their wheel spacings, safety is very important.

Thanks and yes it was well worth it for me. AC doesn’t have to blow hard and usually don’t even need sun glasses:) couple local guys I know with cabs got it done here recently too
