Finally picked up my T273 today. It arrived earlier in the week, but today was the first day I could get by to pick it up. Dealer loaned me his trailer to haul it on.
Initial reactions:
1. Tractor was a dealer return, so didn't actually see it until today. It was in better condition that I had ever hoped. Only a couple of small dings on the loader - certainly nothing a little touch up paint won't fix. Weathering was VERY minor. 5.9 hrs on it when I picked it up.
2. Build quality and engineering is very good. In most ways every bit the equal (and in some ways definitely better) than the JD 2520 I had previously.
3. One thing extremely odd is that the right hand rear tire is filled with Rim Guard (looks kind of like oil?), while the left tire has air in it. Is this a problem, or do I need to even worry about this?
4. My local dealer does not stock an inventory of TYM parts. Are there dealers out there I could order things like filters and touch up paint from? If so, please PM me.
Pictures to follow as soon as possible. Time to go play w/ the tractor some more.
