That makes more sense. So did you take delivery from the dealer lot and then arrange the shipping? (If so that doesn’t seem like dealer issue, my mistake if so).

Dealer arranged for the shipping. I will get the triangle when I get back to town week after next.
Other than that, seems to be working well for me. I got a chance to almost get it stuck in mud, so I am learning the limits of what it can handle mud-wise. Re-graded my parking area and yanked up all the weeds that WERE growing in it. Took a while to figure out how to swap out all the tools, but now that I have done it once, I know how it all works and should come apart in seconds next time. Main problem was the brush hog, I was looking for a button for the longest time to get the shaft off the PTO. Finally realized it was a spring-loaded slip-collar, not a button, and it popped right off after that.

Congrats on the new tractor. My story is similar as far as having an older tractor that needed worked on every time I used it. Can’t imagine not having my Kubota now, especially the loader. Just my opinion here but if you are going to be swapping out the rear implements often, I'd suggest a quick hitch. Plenty of discussions here if you do a search.
The package I bought came with the Quick Hitch. it is VERY nice!
It sounds like you have a ton projects to get done.
I took delivery of my tractor in early December. I did a fluids check and found that I was low on hydraulic fluid in the rear end. I also went around with a torque wrench and checked all of the subframe attachments that were put on by the dealer plus the wheels. I did not find anything loose but had peace of mind but it was all done correctly. My dealer filled on tires without being asked. I have put 35 hours on it so far with no issues. Amazing piece of equipment.
Best of luck with your new equipment.
