Hello

[SnoGoDriver]

Hello from Northern Minnesota.
I am new to all things electronic, Forums, Bulletin Boards, Internet activities, etc.
I have been dragged into the 21st century kicking and screaming.
After 25 years of trying to keep a 530 Construction King with a model 31 loader and backhoe operating, I sold it. I recently purchased a 2012 John Deere 1026R FILB with 200 hours on it.
I want to learn more about the advantages and pitfalls of this new fangled tractor that doesn't even have a clutch.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your tractor!

I'm going to move this thread over to our John Deere section, where we keep the robot farmers :laughing:

Goodday to you! From the nearly frozen lands of Northern Minnesota. I shall be keeping extra blankets on the Little Green Machine til the temps warm up from the current Minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Catherine, thank you for moving me to the John Deere section, I think.
I was hoping to find more information on Sub Compact Utility Tractors on this site, not just JD lawn & Garden. Perhaps, I haven't explored the site adequately enough.

You are good where you are at...in JD Owning/Operating.

And you can always hop up top to the "Google Custom Search" window and enter your ?? there or specific model # like JD 1026R. The hits will all come up and give you tons of information and reading material..
As well, make a new thread and post any question you have. Endless help and gracious knowledgeable TBN'rs will respond.

Nice to have you here with us! Why isn't this in the new member section? Whatever the case, my spouse is from Ely.
