Well, I took delivery of my new tractor on Friday afternoon. I had my camera ready to go as I wanted to take some shots of it being unloaded and shots of my "old" 1433 being loaded. Camera wouldn't work. My dealer waited for me to change batteries...nothing! My wife had her digital camera (her's is the new one; I got her hand-me-down) with her and she wasn't home yet. No matter... we'll take some photos one night this week!
Anyway...everything went smoothly. The tractor arrived with 0.2 hours on it; that's about as factory fresh as you can get! My dealer went over everything with me, pointing out the differences from my 1433, etc. He is a great guy; he stayed for a couple of hours and we talked all about Masseys, Fendt's, Agco, etc. I found out that he has collected farm toys since he was a kid and having grown up in a family owned form tractor dealership business, he has a ton of them.
As far as playing with it; I haven't even driven it yet. I tore a tendon in my ankle last December and I finally had surgery to repair it on August 13th. I had all sorts of complications, pain meds that didn't do it for me, infection requiring two rounds of antibiotics, etc. I just had the cast removed on the 11th of this month and while I can put some weight on it, I can't really do much yet...including driving my tractor. It's killing me to see it sit there, but I'm using the time to go through my manuals completely. I'm hoping to be able to use it this coming weekend.
Pictures will follow ASAP I promise!
