Visited Dave's Tractor in Red Bluff to see the 4035. Nice looking tractor.

First thing I noticed is that the fuel tank is located on the lower left side of the tractor just forward of the step you use to climb up into the seat. That puts the cap of the fuel fill tube about knee high. No more wrestling 5 gallon containers up to the top of the tractor like it is with my Mahindra 5525.

The FEL joystick is located conveniently near the right arm rest so you can operate it with your elbow in the bent position instead of straight out. Like it is on high end construction equipment. The FEL spool valve assembly is under the floorboard.

Couldn't find the pto control on the left side of the seat. It's controlled by a 3-postion switch on the dashboard (manual, off, automatic). Don't know what this means since I've never used a tractor with this setup.

The 4035 has a tilt steering wheel. Nice.
