Too bad we can't have a permanent thread kept at the top, for all new compact tractor owners:
The steering wheel is not attached to the wheels mechanically so it does not stay in the same place.
Don't use the steering wheel as a grab bar to pull your mass on to the tractor, You will damage the steering controller.
Your oil will turn black, it's a diesel, they do that.
You should immediately get out your grease gun, and find the grease fittings that were not greased during the dealer prep.
The reason it won't start, is probably because you bumped one of the levers, and have not realized it yet. Check all of them.
They did not make the ROPS 2" too high to fit in your garage, just to piss you off. The government did that.
About 1/2 of us, (my perception), are using synthetic oil in the engine, transmission, and front axle.
Yes, you can use gear lube, instead of hydraulic oil, in the front axle.
If you put in generic hydraulic fluid, and you notice things are different, it is the hydraulic fluid. About 50%, (my perception) of those who use generic report issues. The rest love it.
You can run around in 4wd all the time, but it will wear out your front tires faster.
There are some generic engine oil filters out there, no generic hydraulic filters, (for MF), as of this date.
You have to use more glow plug time, and open the throttle, before you will get a good start in cold weather.
If you put in gasoline by mistake, it is not the end of the world. search for a thread pertaining to this, and follow the instructions.
If you run it out of fuel, you usually need to bleed the air out before it will start. search for a thread pertaining to this and follow the instructions.
Your dealer lied to you. (just kidding), (but he might have).
Anyone have any I forgot?
