I'm enjoying my new (to me) tractor and would like to keep it in good working condition. I've read that these SCUTs are work horses but also read here and there cautions. Are there any experts out there that can enumerate the things I should avoid doing in order to protect my investment. Safety concerns are also welcome. Thanks!

The biggest thing is to get the trans cooler fan protection shield. It's like a skid plate, some guys make their own or they are available from Bro-Tech or BX expanded.

DON"T roll it over, they don't run well with the wheels up! 
Keep loader loads low and slow especially on hills, keep a hand on the loader control and if it becomes unstable drop the loader for instant stability!

I took down a barn a few weeks ago and recently installed BXpanded Piranha Tooth Bar. The barn was unused for a decade and had a lot of bamboo growing up through it. So with my new tooth bar I went at it pulling up concrete and gouging out most of the bamboo roots. Then I used the heel of the bucket to smooth out the soil. I gave the tractor a real work out and was wondering if maybe I should not push her so hard.
I definitely intend to get the under armor to protect her belly and appreciate the wise advice re: bucket awareness.
Thanks guys!

You'd be very hard pressed to overwork these tractors. They're made for it.

Seeing the post of tractors used for demolition brings up an experience. Driving around where there can be trash or places where nails can be found, it sure is a pain to have a flat, especially if the tire has been filled with calcium chloride solution for weight purposes.
Using a bucket for lifting stuff, as lumber or tall stuff, be aware that there have been instances where parts of the load come back over the top edge and then spilled on the tractor and driver. Watch the bucket tilt vs horizontal increase as the load goes up.

It's so funny that you mentioned that. All day today, in 90 degree heat, I walked the property with my giant loppers cutting everything I could reach. It's a never ending battle, of course, but I made some significant progress.DONT push limbs out of the way with your hand and get your arm caught in between the limb and ROPs
