A Tractor Upgrade For Himalayan Acres

Jai Ganesha!

For some time now our monks have been looking for a good replacement for our primary tractor that we use on Himalayan Acres. With several hundred acres of land to care for—which included our mahogany forests and noni orchards—it's a big job to keep it all maintained. Several years ago we replaced our older Landini tractor with a newer John Deere model. Unfortunately, the new tractor utilized a fully computerized system that turned out to be easily broken and expensive to repair. Thankfully we were able to find this Branson tractor as a replacement. Though used, it's well-built, isn't computerized and should hold up very well in our challenging environmental conditions. A few days ago the monks held a blessing for the new machine. Aum.

Arumuganathaswami manages a good amount of the work on Himalayan Acres as does Vishvanathaswami.

Swami welded this solid metal roof himself. It is the best option for creating a roof that truly lasts. Aum.
