I can't recall anything in the manual about that. It is poorly written IMHO, I got halfway through again today but chores called. I think I'm going to keep the box blade mounted, plus I have fluid in the tires, to use for added ballast until I get a ballast box. Wondering what you and others advise about this.

Yes, ballast is perhaps more important than HP in most cases. But the power you've got to the ground.

Looks like LS may have beefed up the brush guard a little since the xr4000 series. Two things to be mindful of on it, some welded on expanded metal is extremely useful for protecting the radiator/front grill/hood if you'll be loading branches & other sharp pokey things in the bucket or you get a grapple. AND, the old-style brush guards were very susceptible to bending at the attachment base plate. Don't use the brush guard to push/pull, & be mindful of wedging anything between it and the bucket or you could bend the base plate.

And here I thought you were just making stuff up but with the picture I believe. Today’s newspaper pictured with you in it next to the tractor would make me a true believer though. I joke but that’s a nice looking machine, a great size and they are only that shiny once.

I hate to point out something in your picture already but there are colored caps for the hydraulic disconnects for your loader. Those will plug into each other so they stay clean if you take your loader off and need them. They will plug into the disconnected lines.

I bought a ballast box from Deere. Stupid price but I’m a Deere stock holder so think somehow I’m breaking even?

Yes, ballast box is a good investment. Fill it with crap and run around the property. Good decision.

Congrats on your new investment your bones and muscles will be thanking you.
