Yes I hit the control leaver for the remote every time I get off the tractor. I plan on rigging two springs(one on either side) to keep it in the center. That or cut about two inches off of it.
I had my muffler replaced at 30 hours. The new one is made alot better and has an extra brace.
Another problem I had was the parking brake stopped working because a spring broke. Dealer charged me $36.00 for the small spring even though the tractor was under warranty, I am still mad about that.
One thing not to do. Don't put too much grease in the front axle pivot. I pumped a hand grease gun six times and it pushed the pivot bushing off the end about two inches and bent the flat steel support bracket that the pivot mounts to. I had to take it apart. and straighten it and then put the bushing back in the center pivot.
One other thing. I have a 5 disk that I use. My tractor will not lift it up high enough. I would like to find one of the adjustable lift arms like is on the right side of the tractor to put on the left side. That way I could tighten it up so I could get the disc higher off the ground.

Bud, if you mount your top link bar on the bottom hole of the bkt, it will lift your disc higher.
