Yeah, that has really made the wait shorter. I can't beleive the pictures they posted. This has definitely been the best experience with any kind of dealership I have every had.

The tractor came today at 3:30pm. I have a bunch of pics but instead of wasting bandwidth here, I made a website with them. Check it out here.

The tractor came showroom clean with a full tank of gas and ready to go. They did go right ahead and put two hooks on the front bucket for no charge which was pretty incredible. It has a whopping 1.3 hours on it. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I didn't get to play with it much since we had to go Trick-or-Treating, but everyday after work and every weekend will be spent on that tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The heater core in the cab works awesome and even with the cab on, it's very easy to see around and you don't even notice it at all.

I can not recommend Batchelder Sales, Inc. enough, they have been great and very easy to work with. They have gone above and beyond what any dealership was willing to do. Trust me, I went to a lot of dealerships.

Here are a couple of videos. The first is the delivery of the tractor and the second is Me and the little guy trying her out.

Is that second video the right one? It shows the delivery guy off loading from the trailer. In that video I noticed he didn't use the clutch to shift into lo range when starting to move it. Do you not need to use the clutch when changing ranges?

I assume the fact that it is a Hydro-static Transmission means you do not have to clutch to shift from high to low. Hopefully, because I have done it a few times already while going from travel speed to work speed.
I always come to a complete stop and make sure the HST pedal is centered and not engaged.

The manual states to use the clutch when changing the low/high range selector, but it CAN be done without clutching. One thing though, if you're moving, you'll usually get some grinding as this action is not synchronized. It's best to clutch it just to be sure of no damage.
