The tractor was delivered this week and with less that 6 hrs on it I have a growing list of gripes with my assembly team.
My 60" plow came with a male and a female fitting, my third function came with both male fittings. So i couldn't try it out, so i let the dealer know and they said stop by and pick up another female fitting and i could swap it out with a little teflon tape. I guess no big deal but ok. So i swap it out and go to hook it up and the fittings are all the wrong diameter.... so still can't use it.
The boot for the bagger was assembled on to the MMM but they delivered with the chute in place because the hoe was on and not the bagger, understandable from the liability side but the mounts on the boot were out of adjustment. Adjusted, still doesn't seem to fit 100%, getting the rear pin in the boot is a real bear.
My pto selector was stuck. Absolutely could not move it. Had to oil the linkage and work it, then finally worked the engagement lever per the dealers recommendation and was finally able to get it tog shift. A little more oil and it is working relatively freely.
My third function fitting worked apart and sprayed hyd. fluid all over the front of the tractor. Took the cover off and it was literally flopping around. Tighten down and added ~32oz to bring back up to full.
Was I overly optimistic to expect not to have to work on a new machine? How would you handle this with the dealer? I love the tractor but I feel that with 3.5 weeks for delivery all of this should have been 100% addressed.
