I want it. You don’t need a finish mower, you’ve got the zero turn.

Be a perfect housewarming ;)

moves around a full scoop of gravel pretty easy.  i feel like i need a seat belt and the seat 5" back need to investigate that. 


Glow plugs bi passed to a push button, tack inop on dash, 3 point doesnt drop fast.  powers up fine but takes minutes to go down with or without weight. 

could use a set of new front tires and investigate fluids.  full service was done 70 hours ago.  has 750hrs on machine.

You really don't want a seatbelt on that. Tractors get top heavy quick and if it starts to go, you wanna be able to get off of it asap.

I used to wear my seatbelt to hold me in the seat. With the ROPS, you'll be fine.

I miss my compact tractor...  :'(

im just not use to hydrostatic with my foot yet.   tends to want to throw you into the steering wheel.  has a clutch for high med low rang and PTO engagement.  otherwise forward or back go petal.  and i think a left and right rear brake?  and diff lock. 

my ferris has a nice comfy foot platform

i also could tell in 2 min i have zero skill yet spreading gravel with a bucket lol   


took it to the quarter wash and got all the cow shit out of the tires and loader.  now i can power wash it at my place.  then start looking at service areas/fluids and fix a few odds n ends

the trick to spreading gravel is in backblading, does it have an auto-float function like a backhoe does?

no auto float


made a 3pt trailer mover tonight out of scrap.  my new band saw is legit.  dont think i have ever experienced a faster way to cut 1/4wall 2" box.  its amazing. 

used every new big tool in the shop.  lathe and mill for 7/8" hitch  points, band saw for box tube, BIG drill press to hawg some 3/4 holes in 3/8 plate with ease.

If you get a GOOD cross reference with threads and dimensions I bet you can figure alternate P/N that would work
