Well here she is! Actually got to try her out a bit today!
Right at 4 hrs on the clock, as I rolled under the barn! Couldn't be happier with the way she handled the six foot box blade.
Hopefully my Rachet Rake will come in tuesday, and I'll have extra activities for the Fourth !!

Very nice tractor and blade. Now you have to get some blue paint for the blade.

Nice tractor! Don't forget to check the loader frame bolts and wheel bolts for proper torque. They have a way of loosening over time.

Good point. My dealer also mentioned that to me. I need to find a paint pen with a fine tip, and make some reference marks.

Enjoyed the pictures. Congratulations.

I saw the dealer mechanic trying to repair the broken bolts from not being checked. I did find one of mine that had backed out a little.

Are those the Ag tires or the industrial?

Those are R4 industrial. R1 or ag tires are narrower and have a thinner but taller straight bar. This allows for greater traction in mud and snow or deeper ruts in your yard depending on the job you are performing.

Congrats on the tractor, and on your tractor being the Featured Tractor of the Month on the July 2012 Newsletter.

What? I had no idea??

Fantastic tractor... yours looks like you waxed it. I got my R3039 on 4 July and I love it... little over 7 hrs seat time but could not ask for better. Picked up a ratchet rake on Sunday... that thing is great addition. Congrats on the tractor.

Thanks! I'm sure that you're having a ball with your new machine, as well. I've got almost 14 hrs on mine, so far. I don't usually get but one or two days a week out at my property, so when I do, I try to get at least a good half days work in while I'm out there.
I'm still learning something new all the time. Just actually figured out how the draft control works. I didn't realize there was a locking lever on the upper link connection! The owners manual is a bit vague on some things. There was a diagram of a valve in the section about draft control, but it didn't tell you that it was on the rear of the tractor!

 

[joemd11]

I've seen that lever and have no idea what it does or how to use it. Got any info on it ?????

Thanks Ozley. I had my tractor nearly a month before I finally figured it out ! My manual didn't explain the draft to the extent yours did. It showed the middle diagram, but said nothing about the stopper, or where it was located. I thought maybe that was a side view of the position valve!
