I would have noticed and found all of the things you pointed out and then some...I'm very detailed. but none would have bothered me knowing what I know and on my 3rd tractor with about 12 years of experience. I know after about 50 hours or less it will be scratched and dirty a few times over. i happen to think that having a different color attachment has a cool factor over matchy matchy. that's when you know a bit more...i happen to like green tractors but prefer woods mowers and other woods attachments...they are tanish yellow. not everyone makes the best of everything. I've been an avid cyclist for 25 years. the first bike I purchased had all the parts and it all matched...now I pick out the best wheel set, best bars, best tires, best gears, etc and built it up...in the end you have a light bike with all the best components. Just two ways of looking at it...yours and mine. I'm sure we both purchased tractors for different reasons and decided on different brands for different reasons too. good luck...
