[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1312464, member: 14713"] No personal experience with a 35, but my impression is that they were a good little utilty tractor in their day. Dun covered it well. Obviously you need a 12V generator or alternator to go along with your 12V battery. Your 6V starter should be OK. Also if you plan to use the lights you need 12V lights :shock: If the previous owner already did these things, you should be good to go. A 5' or possibly 6' bush hog should work well with your tractor. Given a choice, I'd probably go with the 5'. Tough weeds higher than your head are pretty tough to make the first pass through :shock: Now round bales are a problem ...... I don't see that happening unless they are pretty small and/or light. Regular maintainence is important with a tractor as with any other motorized equipment. Check fluid levels and change on a regular schedule. If you don't put that many hours on per year (<100hrs/yr) , annual service should work for engine oil. Don't forget the air cleaner when you change the oil, or more often if working in extremely dusty conditions. If the transmission oil stays looking clean and not milky looking, I would run it and just add the proper oil when necessary. If it does get milky looking, you have moisture getting in someplace. Good luck with your purchase :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
