Not to take anything away from the 40xx units... But I think you made a good choice opting for the 41xx unit instead. Shibaura makes a fine engine, but 5hr ReGens are ridiculous

Thanks TSO I'm hoping it will serve me well and hopefully be mostly trouble free. I just finished reading most of the owners manual and it describes the canister as a combination cod/dpf unit. It sounds like a little different technology, maybe that with the common rail fuel system will work well. It also mentions that regens last 15-20 minutes.

Kyle in TX asked about options, best I can tell from reading the owners manual I got all options except the creeper gear, ground speed pto, and factory radio. And I went with the synchro transmission instead of hydro.

I think you will be pleased with the cab and ac, I am a native of NOLA but never had a tractor with ac when I lived there. Forty years later I would not think twice about it, a cab is the way to go.
Curious why you went with the gear instead of the hydro?

I think there is more hand wringing about tier 4 than there are problems. Most seem to report back that there had not been problems after the first few months of ownership. So I think you will be just fine and you selected a good brand. More pictures please.

Well I didn't get much seat time at all today. I had other obligations this morning and when I got back I decided to go ahead and remount the rears at the widest setting and fill them while I was at it. I snapped a couple before and after pics and one with the wheel off.

View attachment 441984 Here's the other pic. It's pretty dusty at the moment, I'll probably have time to clean it up tomorrow.
About the transmission, I don't know I just prefer a gear tractor. I know I'm in the minority here on the forum, but it's just what I like. In fact I just sold my little hydro kubota this morning.
