Finally got a chance to add a few things to my new tractor! :cool2:
1)First on was the Black Talon seat from Rural King (the one on sale for $117). All I can say is it was well worth it, even if it was full price! Much more comfortable and has adjustable arm rests and back. I utilized the factory suspension, so still tilts forward.:thumbsup:
2) got the 3 front bucket hooks mounted, still have to put on one more on the BH bucket. Used them already to lift my mower deck to clean and sharpen the blades.
3) mounted 2 ammo boxes on the back, made a couple of brackets and used some factory bolt holes on the cross member. :D

Ordered some switches, once they come in I 'll add a couple of LED lights on the tractor and a work light on the Backhoe. A Pirahna tooth bar is on the wish list, but I'll probably wait until they aren't so busy and backed up.

Nice mods! That seat looks like it belongs in front of a big flat screen TV. Does it have Bluetooth speakers? :)

Just bought the hooks this evening. Gonna try welding them on tomorrow. I've put about 8 hours on the tractor since Monday. Thoroughly enjoying it.

Question: Do you get a lot chatter in certain gears? My 4th gear seems to be noisy in low or mid range.

No, in 4th gear, I haven't noticed any different noises from any other gears. There is more noise increase in all gears in mid range, almost like a whine.
