JD 955, NO toolbox, (need to make one but haven't figured where to put it. Hooking up the
drive shaft for the belly mower, not enough room between hydraulic connectors when
hooking up FEL.

Just got back from 3 days in the seat, so I'll join in on this one while it's fresh in my mind.

Standard disclaimer here -- I basically love my L2500DT, but...

Although I'm pretty used to it now, the cockpit is quite awkward to climb in and out of -- you pretty much have to land in the seat with your feet in position and facing the right way.

Hydraulic priority system -- did a lot of pile work yesterday, and was mildly annoyed that I could either steer or work the loader, but not both at the same time.

Thanks to MarkC I don't notice the lack of cup holder -- my Chalkley cups are a constant delight. Having also solved the toolbox problem (mounted a good-sized one to right fender, plus up to 3 ammo boxes on the ROPS rack), I don't complain about that any more, either.

One storage problem not yet solved (but churning in my idea mill) is to easily carry:

an ax
loppers
bow saw
pole saw
5-foot prybar
pick
shovel

I frequently want to carry at least 4 of the above for the day's work. On the other hand, I love solving such problems. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
