I have found I can't put things (tape measure, grease rag etc) in my right pocket or I hit the FEL control when I slide around in the seat when bouncing around the property.

Your seatbelt should prevent you from sliding around the seat. That's a fixed ROPS on the 670...you really want to use your seatbelt.

The seat belt works great controlling front/back motion, however I still tend to lean when on a slight angle or riding over a bump on one side - like I'm on a bike- even though I know it has virtually no effect. My right thigh is almost touching the FEL control on level ground especially when I'm riding the brake so when I rotate around the butt axis leaning or turn to watch the scraper I find the FEL moves (uncurl usually). I'm now using the lock out when I think it's appropriate and trying to remember not to put things in my right pocket. No comments about weight control needed - mine or the tractors.
Thanks again and best wishes.

I have recently bought an old farm with 4acres of land.

I have very little knowledge of tractors and would like advice on a suitable tractor to buy. Have been looking online and spoken to friends who have suggested I look at kubota.

Tractor will be used mainly to mow grass but also for other general work
Will be looking at second hand market and have limited budget.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
