First post, Just bought an LS P7010C w/FEL

[vargohill]

I open the left hand door, move the seat a little forward and can hook up implements on the FEL pretty easy. It takes that to see the edge of the QA attachment. A camera would be good here.

Also my seat back does tilt, it's on the left side near the hinge. It lever looks almost square but I would really be surprised if yours doesn't 't have it.

That works. It's a little hard to reach the joystick and see the edge at the same time but at least you can tell the location of the bracket and the attachment. Along with Guesseral's suggestion it should be a lot easier to switch attachments.

And you're right Dave, my seat does have have a tilt lever for the back. It was adjusted all the way forward making the seat quite uncomfortable, at least for me. Much better with it tilted back a bit.

Thanks guys.

I built a set of 4 3/4" 4x8 tables and set all my quick attach implements on them so I could see them easily. works great. then I put the 3 point stuff under the benches.

Well, I finally got the tractor last Friday and overall I'm quite impressed with it. Used it to tow a tri-axle dump truck up my muddy lane after he got stuck. It walked it up the 8 or 10 degree hill in 5th gear without a whimper! I haven't quite found the knack for connecting the QA bucket and forks yet. Not as easy as it is with the skidsteer as you can't see the connection and they have to line up perfectly. Might try storing the attachments on a tractor tire to see if raising them up off the ground will help. Anyone have any suggestions?

Only have a few hours on the tractor cleaning ditches, spreading gravel and using the bucket as a work platform to change out a light fixture. My neighbor said I paid way too much for my ladder but I disagreed. Definitely a lot easier to work out of the bucket than from the top of a ladder.

I'm a little disappointed in the tractor seat. For one thing the height adjustment is VERY hard to adjust (had to use channellock pliers) and could be higher, at least for me. Maybe I'll try adding something under the seat frame to raise it a little. Also the back doesn't tilt or adjust and the seat doesn't swivel. Probably just nit picking but my other cab tractor seats have all those features so maybe I'm just spoiled. LOL. If this is the biggest complaint I ever have with this tractor I'll be very, very happy.

Thanks for the tip. I have a few rear tractor tires around and I think I'll still use them for storing QA implements on. Will not only make it easier to hook-up but will keep them up off the ground too.

Mine tilts on the back also, I am sure yours does too. AS for a swivel, not many tractors have that unless it has a backhoe on the back. My Kubota B26 does but then the back doesn't tilt.
I cant imagine needed the seat any higher than mine sets as your headroom between your head and top of the cab would diminish considerable as it has very little now. By just leaning forward in the seat, I can see to hook up my QA bucket. Don't try to raise up though, BTDT and have the skinned head to prove it.

Congratulations on the new tractor.

My Case 2090 seat swivels and it is really nice to swivel it to the right when mowing hay as you are constantly looking back especially when making right hand turns. Not really a necessity but a nice feature to have.

Since I've located the tilt lever the height of the seat is less of an issue but I'm used to have my seat a bit higher. But you are right, there isn't much extra headroom in the LS so best to leave it alone.

I must correct myself. It is the weight adjustment knob which is so hard to turn, not the height. The knob is quite small and a different design would make it easier to adjust.
