2425 and attachments delivered. Of course it's been raining almost nonstop ever since but I have been able to accomplish some small projects.
Machine is everything I had anticapated and more. Grapple bucket is quickly becoming my attachment of choice.
Don't feel any of the concerns of sitting higher with the taller machine. No sense of tipping, although I'm sure if I tried I could certainly do it. I also have the garage door problem but my rops is bolted to the side so I just have to redrill some holes in the vertical plate to lower.
The machine is also much quieter than I expected, certainly quieter than my lawn tractor. Power trac has moved the muffler out of the engine compartment to below the foot step on the side. Perhaps this is the difference.
The battery has also been moved out of the engine compartment to a bump out on the front side, similar to how they do the fan motor on the opposite side. The only thing in the engine compartment now is the engine.
I do wish there was a fuel guage as it seems to run thru gas faster than expected. I've run out twice now. And of course it was on the far end of the property both times. Suppose it's just something I have to get a feel for.
Now if it would just stop raining I could actually get to play with it, er I mean do some work.
