Good to hear. Is the loader a DL260 or 931X ? Several users picking up heavy round bales say that steering is not robust enough to turn the wheels, especially in muddy conditions, etc. I read that Massey is doing something to beef up the steering capacity in later serial numbers. One dealer in central WV said last summer he was not accepting any more 4600's until the steering issue was solved. I'm one who avoids turning wheels until I have vehicle movement (be it the truck , the car or the tractor.) Not seen steering problems with my 2660.

DL260 with skidsteer quick attach not had any trouble with steering either steers good even at idle and its been in plenty of mud and here lately plenty of deep snow too.it has been a great improvement over the 481 massey that I traded in.the 4600 series is not the most refined tractor out there but is a lot of tractor for the money I also like the no matainence emissions,so far I am pleased with its performance but only time will tell,
