Guys I've officially joined the club. I went up there with my name on one but and thought I'd buy one but was not 100% sure - I was impressed with Fredericks work - Basically everything that was rubber (or things that would dry rot/deterioate were new) - New AG tires, seat, hood holders, belt, every hose - Even the little rubber gasket on the dip stick was new - and of course all the fluids/filters etc. I was also impressed that it came with an overrun clutch - I thought I'd have to buy one separately. The paint job was not quite as good as the rest of the things - There's a couple nice runs (but I realize it's not a car). One thing I thought that might be included in the UTDA standards was a slow moving vehicle sign, but I'm going to have to go and get one - I don't know everything there is about UTDA, but I do know it is SAFETY and that's what the SMV sign does is helps to make us safer.
All of the staff and mechanics were very friendly and professional.
The tractor is a little louder than I'd like it - I think I'll invest in ear protection - I did listen to a 3 Cyl and it seemed almost as loud.
The tractor is easy to get on, but getting off is a lil more difficult.
I haven't done any work with it yet - But hope to tomorrow.
It rode in the horse trailer just great and I felt that it was plenty secure with the D rings, chains, binders, and blocks.
Thanks for all of your help. See the attached picture!
