Absolutely will post pictures. That’s one thing I wish there were more of during my research. Friday is delivery day.

Took delivery today and went straight to work. I’m so impressed with this tractor. One thing that’s scary is how I tend to put my hand on the edge of the fender and how close the tire is to it. If I slip up and let my fingertip too far out it would take it right off.

Congratulations! Nice tractor that should give you years of service. Definitely don't hold onto the fender with fingers wrapped around. A nice bump and it will slice you. Of course if the tire catches you, no more finger. Maybe mount a handle to hold onto instead.

Hope you enjoy your new ride!

Congrats! That a nice looking rig. :thumbsup:

I had the same habit from my older tractor. Although I have plenty of room between the tires and fender, it's never a good thing to do. I've since corrected myself to use the fender handles.

Also, how on earth do you use the diff lock? It doesn’t stay engaged unless you’re on the pedal and then of course you can’t press the F/R switch.

That is a problem across several brands. They should put the lock on the left side to make it easier. Some have learned to move their left over and reach the lever. Others use a cane or stick to work the hydro pedals with their hands. You will find you don't need it often but it is nice when needed.

Makes sense. Thanks everybody. My wife is going to be less than enthused until the “new” wears off of this tractor.
