Congrats on the new tractor! The shuttle shift and all the other shift levers with loosen up over time as things wear in properly.As of last night, I made a private sale deal over the phone for a 2021 4820R tractor with 78 hours. It has 1 front set & 2 rear set remotes, a dealer installed ($600 on invoice) canopy, rear tire ballast fluid and FEL & bucket. It's only been used for haying and mowing so far.
The seller says her Owners Manual & FEL manual all got ruined from rain while hanging in the plastic bag during transit. She's promised me to ask the dealer to get her all those manuals so it's an unknown for now. She does have the warranty booklet and original invoices, etc..
I am a retired professional mechanic so I'll also benefit from a finding a shop service manual if possible? I get nothing from the links earlier in this thread. I'll hold off searching until I hear more from my seller and this forum, thanks.
I look forward to this Branson adventure and I'm ready for some new shine too. Even old farts like me get excited about a new tractor.
When I asked the lady (owner operator) for negatives/issues, etc., her only albeit minor, beef was to say the shuttle shift was stiff to operate compared to her former JD tractor.
I don't think the manuals for the newer 2021 tractors are available yet. At least here on the forum.
