Got it! Pics WILL follow.

Here are a few (mostly very pleasant) surprises:

  • The forward lighting is amazing. Those side lights.
  • The operator comfort is spot on.
  • The startup sequence isn't as annoying as I had feared.
  • The cup holder is too small and too far back. No dealbreaker, tho.
  • 3 Point lift cylinders are external!
  • Can't wait to see the $75 tool box - wish there were pictures of it somewhere.
  • High beams!
  • Horn
  • Love the parking brake setup.
  • Do NOT hop off the running tractor without setting the above (don't ask).
  • Bucket Level indicator is standard.
  • Bottom seems well protected.
  • I would prefer a bit more protection on fuel tank and hydraulic lines.
  • The clear heat shields weren't a surprise - but very popular - especially with Mrs.
  • The electronic controls are so intuitive!
  • The information display is no gimmick - someone knew what they were doing.
  • No matter how hard you mash the brake pedal - the tractor won't move. (twin pedal hydro owner recovery)
  • Lights turn off with the key.

I promise to follow this with more as I find it. And pics. Video.

Haven't been able to use it much; here are few more finds:

  • Tires are Carlisle - excellent choice.
  • Hydraulic hoses are wrapped. Should really help keep them nice.
  • The seatbelt doesn't hide itself under the seat.

in other words, lots of attention to detail.

Taken in almost dark, no flash.

You can't really see the external cylinder for 3 point. You can see the wrapped hydraulic hose for it.

The top link mounts to plates, should be stronger than a casting. Everything seems robust.
