What would you change if you could?

An extension for the 3PH lift control arm so that you could easily reach it from behind the tractor during attachment hookups. Might make it myself.

It would be great if the manufacture would have a hard canopy that would easily collapse with the foldable ROPS. On the super deluxe models they could make an electronic control so when I am coming close to a tree, or going into a garage, I could just push the button and the C-ROPS top would fold away - like a convertible on a car….. Now that would be nice! /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Don

john,
Trust me. Your not really missing anything by not having one.

I have not yet ran out of fuel (diesel) but I understand from some posts I have read here it is not something you want to do, so what I would like to see is a very audible buzzer and a flashing light when you are down to, say, an eighth of a tank. I have caught myself being very low on fuel and could very easily have ran out.

I'd like a stronger electrical system as I understand the alternator may be underpowered for adding much additional lighting. For that matter, how about if the factory put a couple of rotating lights mounted under the top of the ROPS bar.

Foldable ROPS
Tach tied to the PTO ( I have a Tiny Tach)
Bigger wheels = more ground clearance
Tool box or a better place for one
60 inch bucket, or a deeper 48 inch unit
62 inch deck
Hubcaps!

Full instrumentation, not just idot lights.

My fuel tank opening is at an angle. Would be nice if it was strait up and down. The exhaust pipe is angled down and is in front by the right tire. It blows dust up into a cloud.

Century 2535 tractor.

1st time tractor owner - - 70 hours, so I'm still learning.

Tach meter!

Tool box

I find it hard to set the brake when I'm holding pressure on my position with my right foot on the hst pedal, how am I supposed to depress the brake pedal with that same foot & the brake-set control with the other foot? Do any tractors have a hand brake, like on my pick up?

A lot that I would like has already been mentioned, but, here goes. I doubt I'd have thought to mention it, but the idea of words (in ENGLISH) to describe the functions of different buttons and levers instead of the little logos like Frank mentioned would be very nice.

I'd like easier battery access with the grille guard. As it stands I have to lower the grille guard, raise the hood and drop the grille just to get to the battery to jump or charge it. It seems there ought to be an easier way.

I'd like a full guage package WITH warning lights. A low fuel light would be nice, too. Fortunately, my Deere is self priming so running out of fuel is just inconvenient and embarrassing but not expensive.

I'd like a decent cup holder and glove box. I did get lucky and find a water bottle I can wedge in to the alleged cup holder that will stay there. As far as even a twelve ounce can, there's no way one will stay put. The first bump or hard stop and it's gone. I'd also like a decent sized tool box or at least the option of putting my own somewhere designed for that.

There are a lot of other things I'd change (and some that I already have changed) to accomodate my height, but those are more personal to me and wouldn't bother someone a foot shorter. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I'm sure there are other things, but this is the quick, short list.
