Yup, got the thumb too. I am not really mechanical, so I am kind of worried if I can figure all of this out. I am not hopeless, just cautious. I am not sure why there is not much out here on this model. I research things to death and except for the wire/seat problems it gets pretty good marks.
Yup, stumps, hence the backhoe. Seems like a good value, though not that much cheaper. Any tips would be super appreciated.

Well Dan, this is my first tractor as well... tips... one tip I took the backhoe off once to attach a post hole auger to the 3 point hitch... watch some youtube videos... taking it off was easy it took me 3 times as long to put it back on... and I missed 2 clips and got lucky that I didn't lose the pins they held in place. Watch the video over and over to get all the little pieces in your mind. Now I think I can do it just fine but there are a few different things back there that threw me for a loop putting it back together the first time so I could put the backhoe back on. I found lots of videos on youtube about removing the implements... ask your dealer to go through it with you. My dealer was awesome and took me out in a field and showed me what I was missing on the backhoe. Like I said now I can dig and make it look like I know what I am doing.. If I come up with anything new I will be sure to post it here for ya.
