235 here initial impressions

[t600]

Got my 235 this afternoon.
Impressions so far:
Paint is good, seems to be improved
A lot of machine for what I paid
Seems strong even in high range
Glad I went for the extra power
Clutch is noisy, any one else notice this

I haven't noticed any noise from the cluthc.

I think noise I'm hearing is probably hydraulic pump? Goes away when step on clutch pedal.
Anyone here or agree? Probably fine, when its new you notice every little thing.

Mine is quieter with the clutch in, I think that is normal and nothing to worry about. I have only put about 2 hours on my 235 because it has been cold and raining ever since I got it, but I am liking it so far. I hauled some dirt out of a customer's back yard with the loader and really like how fast the hydraulics are on the loader. Also steers real easy compared to my old tractor. One thing I noticed right away when I drove the tractor is that the rear hydraulic control levers are very short and hard to reach. I solved this by extending the lever about 8 inches. Now it is very comfortable to operate. I don't know how to post pics, but if anyone would like to see the new lever, I could get my son to help me with posting pics.
