New DK40 ... questions

[ChrisEdgington]

I bought a 2006 model DK40 last week - with loader and backhoe. It replaces a 28yr old Massey Ferguson MF210. A couples questions I have ...

The Hi / Lo shift lever is very hard to operate about 80% of the time. Is this normal - or should it be smooth?

Was my tractor supposed to include anything in the toolbox behind the seat?

Should my tractor have come with all the components for hooking up a 3pt attachment? I went to hook up my box blad and found no pin or clips ... so I took them off the Massey.

Thanks,
-Chris

I took delivery of a CK35 a couple weeks ago.

Most of the levers are very tight, I assume they'll break in and loosen up some, I'm also going to try some grease in a few spots. I can already tell the forward/reverse shifter is getting much smoother.

Tractor didn't seem to come from the factory with anything in the toolbox, however my dealer gave me a box of misc. pins and clips.

Every implement should have its own set of pins and clips that stays with the implements.
