Actually took delivery last Friday but just getting around to posting. Still waiting on my 62D deck but dealer loaned me the 60" RFM. I know it's still the honeymoon but so far I am well pleased. More power than I expected, great turning radius, no problems at all so far. Some pics for your viewing pleasure. Even took a pic of my first bucket of dirt (year old horse poo)!

I feel guilty saying but... it was in stock. I picked up 2 days after ordering. My 62D is slated for mid July but my dealer had a return 60" RFM that he let me borrow.

Congrats on the new tractor! I had mine for a little over a month and it has been outstanding! My grass cutting went from 2.5-3 hours to 1 hour! I also love the bucket teeth, it's unbelievable how much digging you can do with them installed!! Make sure you let us know how you like the MMM.....

Congratulations.

When they install the 62D, you should have them swap the rear tires into the wide position. The deck lift mechanism can contact the inside of the rear tires and cut grooves into the sidewalls if they are in the narrow position. It also makes it safer when using the FEL.

Congratulations!
I have had mine for almost 2 weeks and it has been great! I have used the MMM a couple of times and had 6 loads of fill delivered :licking:

Mine was delivered two days ago. I waited over a month for it, supposedly for two reasons: First, in spite of the dark economy story, they're selling like hotcakes; second, I wanted turf R3 tires, and one just wasn't available in that configuration.

The next part of the delay was because of the installation of options (the SCV Diverter Kit, Independent Lift Kit, Mulch Kit for the 62D, and Rear Lighting Kit).

But it's here, and I have some learning to do.

I had a JD 755 for twenty years before this one.
