Congrats on the new arrival. I have the same thing, and I love it!
I noticed in your pic that your rims are mounted to the outside, which is a common trick to widen the stance of the tractor. I'm curious, did you do this or did it come that way from the dealer? I've been looking into doing this on my tractor (I live on hilly land), but I don't know if it will make any noticeable difference.

Nice tractor. Looks just like mine. You'll definitely enjoy it. I love mine.

After reading on this site about the capability of increasing the real wheel stance, I asked my dealer before I bought the tractor, about it. I also live and use my tractor on hills. He agreed it would be best to increase the width, considering my hills and lack of experience. I am not too sure how many inches I gained (probably around 8 to 10 inchs total for both rear wheels), but it HAS to be an improvement to the stability. I wish I could have done the same to the front tires.

My first day (Saturday) I used it without doing any real work, for about 4 hours. This is my first tractor and I spend an equal time ready the manual, walking around it, getting to know it, etc. Next day, I used for about 3 hours on hills getting the feeling of when the rear tires start to slip,and then an hour or so to practice with the 3 point hitch. Just a few days ago, a local was killed when his tractor rolled over on top of him (no ROPS), so I am very cautious and slow to get the hang of this baby, before I do any real work. A little paranoid and common sense goes a long way, don't you think?

Were your seat belt, even the rops will kill you if it lands on you. I have rolled my sand rails when I was younger, trust me there is ne way to hang on if you go over
