Congratulations! I'm sure you are going to enjoy your new tractor. I've got the same tractor, and I love mine. I've got just over 80 hrs on mine, with no problems. Now you just need some implements so you can get to work! I bought mine with a 6' HD Howse box blade, then I added a grapple, and am getting ready to buy a stump bucket.
That's a great price, by the way; i paid $ 17,750 for mine back in june, and a lot of other folks posted they've paid closer to $19.
Feel free to ask any questions, happy to help.

Thanks Randy
I was wondering about the grapple what does that do? I don't think that I have ever seen one. The next thing that I plan on getting will be the pallet forks then a tiller and bush hog. Might start looking around at some used stuff. Not quite sure what all I'll end up with. I need everything.
Later. Tony

Hello Jeff
Looks like me and you will get to us our tractors for the first time today. Looks like nice day for it here in WV. PA. shouldn't be that much diffrent. I was reading about break in. Looks like we shouldn't run them over 1500 rpms for the first 50 hours. Did your dealer say anything to you about this? Mine didn't. I think that I will do this couldn't hurt.

Guys, The owners manual is a bit unclear in it's wording on break-in. What it means, is that you should run it at least 1500 rpm.
I start my tractor (at any time), and let it idle (1000 rpm)for about ten minutes (longer at cold temps)before increasing the speed. This allows your fluids to warm up to operating temperature.
I ran mine between 1800-2200 rpm, during the first fifty hrs. Just don't go over PTO speed. Set your throttle for the task you're doing and leave it. You wouldn't want to run at 1500 rpm, and you wouldn't have adequate fluid pressure for hydraulics or transmission to operate smoothly.
