    Security from theft

    i dont ever lock my tractor when i leave in the field because there is nothing in it worth anything to a thief but the stereo.i hope i have a nice thief and he opens the door and not break the glass to get in,so that way i can still use the a/c that day.

    3 pt on M7040

    another thing on the 40series tractors the lower lift arms are short to get more lifting weight.say for instance if they one 1"longer hoe much more lift would that give you on said mower.quite a bit.it would also make it much lighter on the frontend.i know people are going to say add weight...
