New tractor help

[madison1]

I just bought a 2012 john deere 1026R with a 60 inch MMM 7 IRON auto connect.
When it arrived the deck said auto connect 60D.
I called the dealer and he said that it is the 7 IRON it just does not say it.
I have 7 IRON on my sales recipe to prove that I paid for it.
Did I get ham hocked shim shamed or is this true.
Thanks
Mads

60D is the 7 IRON deck. Order code is 5320M list price $2300 Sounds like you got what you paid for. Seems like JD would want everyone that sees it to know it's the 7 IRON deck and put stickers on it.

What I've heard is the auto-connect stickers replace the 7-iron stickers, but indeed you do have a 7-iron deck. Congrats!

Congrats on new tractor. Hope you enjoy it. Seems odd but I must have misses the pics?

7-Iron refers to the gauge of the steel that the deck is made of... Lots of the decks are considered "7-Iron" (including the 62D On Ramp on my 2520), they just don't say it.
