Excited to have just purchased a brand new MX4800 HST 4x4, even though I can't pick it up until July 3. Dealer needs to install loader, load tires, etc. This tractor is going to join my 2013 B2920 and 2002 L4310 which have both given excellent service.
Does the MX4800 have an identical engine to the L4701? Can wheel spacers be added to the rear axle of this machine without compromising integrity? I mow 3/1 side hills. The L4310 has been used to mow these same sidehills without spacers, but it has R4 tires. The MX came with R1 tires which are slightly taller and skinnier.
I tried out an MX5200 gear tractor, but found the speed in the low range to be too slow and the speed in the high range to overlap some, with top gears being too fast.
