The Tractor

Back in June we bought a tractor for the farm.  We have a lot of grass and logs and dirt to cut, move adjust etc and some things are just too heavy to do by yourself or even 2 of you. 

So we got an Apollo 5504 which is a 50hp tractor with a 4 way front end loader.  We also got a post hole digger and slasher and a few other bits too. 

The tractor has been indispensible so far in clearing some of the long, rank grass, lantana, logs and building gardens etc. 

The tractor is great and not too hard to drive and adjust things on, though there are about 20 different levers and it needs a lot of grease.
