My local dealer just got some in. Sorry about the poor pics (snow) but it's a start.
Observations:
-New loader joystick and cover for the cables.
-New tilt steering setup: column is spring loaded now, uses a smaller lever (same lever location)
-New parking brake lever location... no longer taking up space on the floor, now it's in a weird spot down to the right side of the seat. Don't know why they can't get with everyone else in the industry and put it on the column?
-New fuel tank location (we already knew this of course ) under the left step, which is nice as frees up the space behind the seat.
-lime green coloring added to the hood sticker.
-OPERATION: the Shibaura engine sounds smoother/quieter than the Mitsu ... but the tractor (drove around the XR4046 HST cab) had a lot of hydro whine. I was surprised because one of the things I REALLY like about the R4047 is there is practically NO HST whine. Ever. Only very rarely when going up a grade in Hi range.
