Unfortunately, issues with dealer prep have been on going.
I am convinced many of those who are happy with their prep, are just not aware of what was missed.
Newbies can blissfully use it with missed grease fittings, low oil levels, improperly secured, or routed hoses, etc., for some time.
Since these tractors are mostly sold to tractor virgins, it is especially important that they are prepped properly. Instead, the opposite seems to happen.
This is why I suggest everyone learn to do their own maintenance. At least then, there are no excuses.
