When he configured the tractor when I was ordering it he deleted the grill guard, bringing down the cost a bit. It was a honest mistake on his part. He remember me telling him I did want it and he unchecked the box anyways. I looked the tractor over good and didn't see any issues. It does have the correct 3 point arms.
Ordered a new 2520

Dropped by the dealer and took a few photos, it's going to be anouther 3 weeks or so before the tiller and mower deck come in.
Congrats on the purchase.
Looking at the 3rd picture, it looks like the hydraulic lines are pretty close to the ground. I've often wondered why on the scuts and cuts some manufacturers went this route. I guess it's one thing to look at when considering a purchase as even though the ground clearance might be a certain amount, the lines might be hanging down bringing that number down. I suppose you could always tie them up some how. I realize that the manufactures are trying to make it easy when it comes to disconnection of the loader, I just thought they would figure out a better configuration.

That's a good point. It almost looks like it doesn't have the support stanchion that is supposed to go under the right side of the platform, but I can't tell from the picture.
Kep, might want to make sure it's on there. Here is what it looks like:

Congrats on your new beauty! Did you buy it in Brookings? Fine place... The Campanile, the Jungle --- little before my time there --- Hort's!! :thumbsup:
Will you take delivery of the tractor before the tiller and mower show up? I'd want it home to "work" on some of that driveway cleanup, etc, etc.
Good luck and safe tractorin'.

Yep, that's my home town. I work at SDSU, Hort's is long gone but back in the day it was the place to be.
I'll get it delivered some time next month.
