I got my 1026r today. I ordered it with a 54" autoconnect mowing deck and a hood guard. My dealer called me yesterday and told me it was ready. He also told me he had a demo model with 2.5 hrs that had a hood guard, canopy and 60" autoconnect deck he'd sell me for the same price. I took the deal and got it today. The 4wd allows me to cut a hillside in twenty minutes I was previously spending 1.5 hrs weedeating. I am very satisfied with this tractor. However, I have two concerns. First, when I engage my mowing deck, I hear a lot of rattling coming from it. I've taken it off and inspected it and everything seems secure. I figured it was the pins on the deck wheels making the noise when the deck is engaged, but im not sure. Second, it seems my transmission makes a whining noise when on an incline. Has anyone else experienced these problems and am I overlooking something? Thanks.
