OP here! About six months along now and I'm still pretty enthused. Still less than 50 hours on it. Unfortunately, my real working life is interfering with my tractor time. Also, I need to take and post some new pics of some of the mods I've done -- additional hooks and stuff on the bucket, lights, canopy, etc....
Now for a few detractions (some self inflicted).
Yeah, probably should have gotten rear dual remotes rolled in when I bought it. Maybe loaded rear tires too.
Here's something really annoying. When I complained about some non-working information lights in the gauge cluster my dealer told me (after calling LS) the gauge cluster is the same used on the "non-value" models and quite a few of the lights don't work: PTO, etc.... I'm pretty sure most buyers assume ALL the indicator lights on a gauge cluster work. At the very least the manufacturer should note something about non-functional lights in the documentation somewhere, or maybe put an informational sticker on the gauge cluster when it's on the dealer's lot. Looks like the lamps are in the cluster, but that they chose not to run the wiring from the various components to them. Thinking about trying to do it myself.
And as others have noted elsewhere, there is a fairly pronounced drive train whine.
Speaking of "whining", I guess that's enough for now. I still think it a great CUT for the price, even with the few detractions I've discovered -- just wish I'd know before hand.
