Thanks for the compliments guys. I had to pull the tractor out of the barn tonight to try the new lights. It was too foggy last night. Here's a couple more pictures. First one is OEM headlights. Second one is my new ROPS mounted LED light. Just for reference, the tree is about 45 feet away...

More pictures.

Been wanting front and rear LED worklights , horn and rear accessory jack to plug in sprayers. Decided to build a control panel take care of all at once. Tried to make it look as OEM as possible by essentially extending the range selector plate. Designed to use all existing fasteners so I...

Thank you Wolfman, I have been hoping to see an optimistic view expressed. Seeing how your knowledge and advice is well respected here, maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.:o

Res, Thank you for the update. This is very reassuring because the naysayers were starting to make me worry. I realize the most vocal haters probably have zero experience with these new tractors so it is great to read the experience directly from somebody who has one.;) Thanks again.

I used a product called Bed Armor. I tested it on a piece of sheet metal last week and it is now cured to kind of a harder rubbery surface. It flexes with the sheet metal. It is definitely not as hard of surface as the Line-X that is in my truck bed. But, I really like the feel and texture of...

I removed the floorboards and step from my new L3301 and applied a spray on bedliner product. I don't like the scratched paint look and was looking for a more anti-slip surface. Curious if anyone else has tried this. If so, did it prove to be very durable? I was going to take them in to be...

The Kubota powered 721D or 725D are on my wish list also. If only Kubota offered something like their Z series but with a front deck system...

Res, I have a new L3301 also and just out of curiosity, even though not using it, the past few days I have started it up just to see if it would. Temps have been as low as -13 and it has started up every time. It cranks noticeably slower but fires right up after about 10 seconds on the glow...

Great minds must think alike!:D My tractor is an L3301 and my grasshopper is 725K. I sure am glad they (and I) aren't getting a workout like last year though. Greetings from Ossian.

Very interested in this because I have a new L3301 and the regeneration process is the same. Mine has not had to regenerate yet but, according to the book, if the buzzer is sounding, the regeneration process was interrupted. Sounds like you ought to do a "parked regeneration" before a higher...

Sat on it and made tractor noises...dreaming of nice weather when I can put her to work. :D Glad no one saw me, they might think I have succumbed to cabin fever.

sheepfarmer, No apologies necessary...I'm learning right along with you. Your added questions just mean I won't have to ask them later:) tcrote5516, Is a powder coated surface more porous than a painted surface? If I wax my machine and if I should ever need to do some touch up, will the...

Thanks to everyone for the great info. I'm certainly getting an education:) Came home tonight with some New Finish, WD40, microfiber towels and a few other 'care" items. Now I just have to wait, and wait, and wait for good weather to return so I can put them to use:( Also, just realized that...

Ray, Wow, thank you for such a comprehensive answer/explanation. This is what I was hoping for. I have never heard of New Finish but it is now number one on my shopping list. If it works for you in the Arizona sun, I am sure it will work here in Indiana. I'm guessing I will probably have to...

After reading this thread, I had to go see if I had the same problem. I hadn't tried folding the ROPS yet. Yes, they were VERY tight. I took a tap and a die and cleaned up the bolt and hole threads. Sprayed some silicon in the brackets and now they are as smooth as silk...Thanks for the...

I think we all know a tolerant wife gets more credit than Santa. Thanks for confirming about keeping idling to a minimum. I was told to always turn at least 1500 rpm so it will regenerate properly when the time comes. We went from a mud hole to a deep freeze overnight so I haven't been able...

Hello folks. Long time listener, first time caller here. Well, I finally went and did it. I am officially an orange tractor owner. Been needing to replace my '92 Case 1140 and after much research, including the helpful posts here, Santa showed up with his Dodge dually and gooseneck loaded with...
