Ok i just thought of a couple more. A replacable cutting edge on the bucket loader. Mine is all worn down & now it's going to be a big pain to try to replace it. As someone else mentioned a speedometer would be nice.

For me it is :

Quick detach loader (mine is a bear to get on and off)
operator station access from the left and right
Larger fuel tank
More traction (weight)
More loader lift capacity
Hydrostat drive, I'm doing a lot of tight loader work
More power (50HP should do it)
Bigger operator station (leg room)
tlescoic 3 pt lower arms
I like a cab but I get on and off to often...seems like it would be a pain..

thats my list..

Top n tilt (TNT) is when you replace the factory top link and side link on the 3 point hitch with hydraulic cylinders so you can make adjustments to your attachments while on the fly.

I my pictures the tilt cylinder hoses are disconnected right now. I'm using those ports for my snowplow angle. I need to add another set of remotes for next year.

I like my 2615. It is a simple design without a lot of electronics. I do wish it had R1 tires and TNT. It has done all I have asked.

I have already made changes to my 2615 that I would have liked to see from the factory.
1) Reinforced top edge of bucket and added grab hooks.
2) Added a cab with heater.
3) Added a lower hose heater.
4) Installed a suspension seat.
5) Added extra lighting front and rear. Plus a flashing strobe.
6) Increased bucket lift capacity by a few hundred pounds.
7) Installed a larger tool box.

I am happy with the way my tractor has performed. It has done everything I ask of it. If I bought another tractor it would have all of these items plus a front quick attach setup and more horsepower.

George, please elaborate on how you increased bucket lift capacity so much.
