018 - tractor - 50hr Review of Yanmar SA425 and Attachments

The first 50 hours of use yields some initial impressions, some lessons learned, and the good and bad for each of the tractor implements used.

This follows up on several videos about the initial tractor purchase and videos about specific attachments.

Welcome to Outbuilding!

These videos chronicle projects both at home and at this coastal property. With several outbuildings and a coastal climate, there is no shortage of landscaping, timber, renovation, repair, and upkeep projects.

Thanks for sharing in the adventure.

This episode shows the unique details of my 50 hour maintenance which is the first for this relatively new tractor. I also review my impressions of each of the covered attachments as I get used to using them.

Until next time, we will be out building.
