I got the tractor today and spent the afternoon doing some light work to become familiar with it.
Some 1st impressions.
1. Tractor was more powerful than I anticiapted. Easly able to push my brush pile and dig a hole
2. I am glad I got the HST well worth it
3. Easier to get on tractor via side opposite loader control. (May look at getting step.)
4. The box blade is wonderful, practice using it and popped out several stumps with it
5. Fit into the barn easily. (May not need to build bigger barn)
6. I can see where metal fenders may have advantages.
7. Like the skid-steer bucket.
8. Will probably get a grill guard, like the look.
I will try to add some pictures when I get a chance later tonight.
