Finally got my 1533

[Hoka Hey]

I am happy to have finally receivedy my 1533. I purchased it a couple weeks ago, but there were a couple of issues to deal with so the dealer delivered it the 125 miles. It is a much larger machine than my old Iseki TL2700f. It is strange getting used to the smooth ride and all the features.
They had it hooked up to a new box scraper. That thing wouldn't even dent my road. I guess all my road work will have to be after moisture.
It stalled on me a couple of times before I realized that I was taking weight off of the seat causing the tractors safety switch to kill it. I wasn't trying to get off of the machine, just leaning up over the back of the seat to look behind. Oh well, I've got some learning to do.

Great choice! What that box scraper needs is some weight on it...you should try rollers off of some early 1900's steam powered crawler tractor and some chain ...

More weight will make the BB act like a different piece of equipment. I have a piece of pipe that's as long as the BB is wide and about 9" in diameter with 7/8" side walls on my BB. It will really cut into the ground since the pipe was put on.
Congratulations on the new tractor. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Thanks guys. I tried again yesterday. We had some snow and some rain and the ground had just a touch of moisture. It made a difference. I was able to resurface the road and parking lot very well. Some weight will certainly help. My business partner drove it around to collect some big rocks and was amazed at the difference between the 2 tractors. Smooth, quiet, much more power and ability to work.
