Thank you everyone. Figured it out. I didn't have the parking brake on right the first few times I tried (in addition to being in neutral). Ooops.

Ordered the bypass on ebay anyways.

Started building a beach on my pond. Damn this tractor is a BEAST! Very pleased with the performance so far. Pushed it to the limit too. Dug 1ft down, 1500sqft... used both the loader and the hoe to dig and transport and level...
Got 10 hours in 2 days.

Got suck in 2-3ft deep mud twice, and was able to get out with the backhoe! This thing is so much fun. Feel like a kid playing with a toy again!
