Well, after much deliberation, they finally delivered the 5083E to the house and I said farewell to the 3520.
Got the Michelin Radials and the Alpine stereo put in on Saturday, so I am ready to mow some CRP. The tires are far and away better than the bare bones FS that they put on these. Makes the tractor ride and drive so much better.
First observations are that it is way front heavy with an 85 inch bucket and a 553 loader. Needs some rear weight for sure. Transmission seems good. A/C works really nice. haven't had a chance to work it yet, but that should change tomorrow. Taking it to the farm to break it in. Going to mow with a JD HX15 cutter. Dealer said it should swing it, so we will see.
Coming from a compact tractor, this tractor seems huge and very hard to see the bucket. There is going to be a learning curve on this for sure.
Will send some pics when I get them.
