Big congrats on the tractor, she's a beauty! My guess (and it's only that) is that your replacement tractor (awesome customer service BTW) is actually 2018 MY production- it has the new seat and from the pics it looks to have the new steering wheel- taller with a deeper dish.

You are correct about both items. Also, the first tractor the controls for the backhoe were different, they had a boot that covered the assembly at their bases and went a fair way up the joysticks. The new one doesn't have the boots in place and the base of the joysticks is not near a deep in the cover that goes over the hydraulics. Also, the old joysticks had a threaded collar just above the boot, like they were two pieces, the new ones are one solid rod.

Congrats-- looks great. I would chain the tractor down, but that's just personal preference. And around here the bucket has to be secured as well.
