I have a 5740 tractor. My 4W Drive lever will move into 4WD but is the devil to get out. I was told by the dealer to put the tractor into reverse and then try it. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. The main gear shift lever is very stiff and hard to engage. I have driven a stick in my...

Last month I bought a 5740 and so far I love it. After my purchase I had the need to call Montana on another matter and in speaking to them I was informed that "Oh, by the way, you'll be receiving a $750.00 rebate." I was told that the rebate would be sent directly to me by Montana and that...
