New tractor being delivered, now what

[John_Mc]

You don't mention what you are doing with your tractor. That will affect the recommendations people make. For example, if you are working in the woods and going off prepared trails, you may want to consider a belly pan to protect things like oil/hydraulic filters, steering linkages, etc. I had stem guards welded on my front rims to protect the valve stems from damage from sticks or rocks. (I'd do the rears as well, but with my rear tires filled, welding is a bit of a problem.) If you are not running in the woods or in other hazardous terrain, such modifications are generally not needed.

I consider welding some grab hooks on the top edge of the loader a must-have. You never know when you'll need to use a chain to lift or pull something. A place to store those chains is also helpful, as is a place to carry a chainsaw (tossing it in the bucket is not the best solution).
