New YT347 (Open Station) Owner experience!

[rockyridgefarm]

Got it! Pics WILL follow.

Here are a few (mostly very pleasant) surprises:

• The forward lighting is amazing. Those side lights.
• The operator comfort is spot on.
• The startup sequence isn't as annoying as I had feared.
• The cup holder is too small and too far back. No dealbreaker, tho.
• 3 Point lift cylinders are external!
• Can't wait to see the $75 tool box - wish there were pictures of it somewhere.
• High beams!
• Horn
• Love the parking brake setup.
• Do NOT hop off the running tractor without setting the above (don't ask).
• Bucket Level indicator is standard.
• Bottom seems well protected.
• I would prefer a bit more protection on fuel tank and hydraulic lines.
• The clear heat shields weren't a surprise - but very popular - especially with Mrs.
• The electronic controls are so intuitive!
• The information display is no gimmick - someone knew what they were doing.
• No matter how hard you mash the brake pedal - the tractor won't move. (twin pedal hydro owner recovery)
• Lights turn off with the key.

I promise to follow this with more as I find it. And pics. Video.

Haven't been able to use it much; here are few more finds:

• Tires are Carlisle - excellent choice.
• Hydraulic hoses are wrapped. Should really help keep them nice.
• The seatbelt doesn't hide itself under the seat.

in other words, lots of attention to detail.

Taken in almost dark, no flash.

You can't really see the external cylinder for 3 point. You can see the wrapped hydraulic hose for it.

The top link mounts to plates, should be stronger than a casting. Everything seems robust.
