Are they going to swap the bucket or do you have to pay extra for it? I am sure you will be happy with your new MF, I love mine.
1736 vs 1742 and dl 120 vs dl 125

I have to pay the price difference for the other bucket if I want it, which I am told is about $150. They are delivering with the skid steer bucket for me to try and will swap out if I want.

The DL120 is a much more durable and quality loader than the DL125. Don't pay attention to the marketing material and specifications between the 2 loaders. As far as the dealer pricing on the DL120, they dealers are buying these from AGCO at reduced prices because they are now considered obsolete. The dealers are buying them because they know it is a better quality loader.

Curious to know what makes the 120 loader a better, more durable loader? Haven't looked to close, other than to notice the bucket.

Got the 1736 with the 125 loader. So far so good except (i) only got 1 key (need to call on that), (2) rubber coating on 3 point lever is squeaky (I think I saw a fix for that around here somewhere), (3) "new" tractor has almost 20 hours on it, which seems excessive, (4) shifting between ranges is difficult/sticky, and (5) there is some rust on the 3 point and on/around the draw bar (looks like other dealer from which it was swapped had it sitting outside for a while). Other than those things I like it.

Is it normal that tactor turns off if you stand up without putting it in neutral? That is a pita.
the answer is its a safety thing.

Congrats on the tractor!! What is the fix on a squeaky 3 point lever? My 1758 is that way. Silicone spray or something?? Range lever on mine requires some tapping on the HST pedals sometimes and applying force at same time on shifter to get neutral. I dislike this a lot and it hasn't gotten much better after 100 hours. Overall like my Massey though... Let's see her

Not sure, it was something like that. I saw a post on here somewhere about that. Perhaps someone will chime in with the answer.

Thanks. I'll try that shift solution. Not around until Sunday but will try to post pics then.
