There honestly isn't much I don't like about the tractor. If I wanted to nit-pick, I'd say I don't like the fact that I can only get on and off one side of the tractor. If I did get off the right hand side - I risk stepping on the tool box - or catching and breaking the loader joystick. To remove the temptation - I lowered the loader controls so they completely block that side off. Also makes them easier to reach while resting my elbow on the arm rest of the seat.
Not thrilled about the location for filling the fuel - but I do like how well protected the tank is. Fair trade.
Some of the things I don't like - are exactly the things I do like - if that makes any sense. For example - I don't like the fact that the gear shift makes it slightly more difficult to get on and off the tractor - BUT - I do like the fact that the gear shift comes right out of the transmission and has no linkages to worry about.
I generally measure my satisfaction with a purchase by the "mulligan rule". If the dealer came tomorrow and bought everything back for exactly what I paid and gave me a chance to make a different decision - what decision would I make? I can certainly say I'd buy the same tractor for the same money. I think I would have regretted going with the tractor I first looked at - a 3016. Not because the 3016 isn't a good tractor - only because I think the 4025 fits my needs perfectly.
I'm gonna go take some pics of the difference in lighting at night with the new lights I installed. Post shortly... lol.
