My new 5055D was delivered today.

Very pleased so far with tractor, salesman, and dealer.

Congrats. I think it will serve you well. Lots of people feel that JD is always overpriced. The 5D series is a bargin as far as I'm concerned. Just a nice strong well made machine.

Good luck, Bill

Welcome and congratulations!! Plus one on what Notforhire said.
I like my E very much and hope you have similar results.
The only piece of advice I might add while you break it in is to tighten the radiator hose clamps now and after the first full days work then check them again at fifty hours. It seems the hoses need to settle in before you can get them tight enough. Other then that what the owner’s manual says to do in regards to bolt torque etc. needs to be followed and you will be all set.

Thanks for the tip.

A thing of beauty .. congrats :thumbsup: Be careful with 2WD and that FEL, especially going downhill. Without proper ballast in the rear, you could find yourself taking an unstoppable ride.

The rear tires are filled and most likely a rotary mower or blade or something will always be attached. Thanks.
