Just like the title says. Just picked up a brand new Massey 1825E with woods bush hog and a box blade.

Loader came standard with quick attach bucket. So I'll soon be investing in a set of pallet forks as well.

That's a real nice tractor, good choice; what, if anything, did she replace?

I used to have an old Grey market L1501 kubota that was 2wd. But sold it a few years ago.

It was fixing to need a clutch and some other work done. And I didn't have the time or ambition to deal with it.

I looked at a Kubota L2501, but they were awful proud of that orange color. It was $7000 more than the Massey.

I didn't really get along with the service manager at the local kubota dealership after getting the run around when my zero turn was was in for a warranty repair. After them having my mower for 3 months for a PTO switch, I was out of patience. Then they neglected to call me once the repair was actually done. I found out it was completed when I stopped by to check on when the repair was gonna be done.

Needless to say, I was brutally honest on the survey. Dude had the balls to call me up and ask if a complimentary oil change would make me happy My reply "Why.... so you can keep it for another 3 months???"

Of course, the mom and pop shop was bought out by a large conglomerate, so prices went up and customer service went to he((.

Local green dealer is the same way. Bought by a large conglomerate with similar results.

Ironically, I don't get along with the service manager there either

I dealt with the green dealer through work. After them trying to bill me for utter nonsense, we took our buisiness to the green construction dealer instead.

Got it figured out pretty quick. I've been running equipment, and tractors since I was 13yo.

I've operated a hydrostatic a couple times over the years, but about 99% of my time on a tractor has been with a manual transmission of some sort.

With this one being a hydrostatic, I keep catching myself going for the clutch each time I want to change directions

That darn muscle memory keeps getting me
