Great tractor. They have been very dependable. One of my customers has a few of them that I have been working through getting serviced and ready for Cherry Harvest here in california.

Welcome and congrats.
I'm pretty new to tractors too. You'll be saying "Why didn't get this years ago?", in no time.

Just got off the phone with the local tractor salesman, says that the top and tilt kit (L8372) is hard to find and they're calling all over the place to locate one. So,,,, it may be awhile to have a new tractor.
Personally I’d seal the deal if you think you got a good one, let them deliver the tractor now and ask them to do the TNT at first service or just plan to bring back in when they get the parts. I am not sure about the weather in your area but it’s just about prime time for tractor in’ in Ohio. I would not want to be without if I needed in spring at this point. (I had to wait about 6ish months for BH back in 2021…so I took delivery without and took back when they got the BH…6 months). Otherwise that brand new machine might just sit outside for a while at the dealer. Good luck.
Yeah, still snow on the ground here and may be more to come before our winter is over. Then the melt/mud season for a month or so. I texted a dealer in Texas and they replied a TNT could be had from the factory 4 days after making the order. I'll give my dealer a day or two to figure it out and if they can't then I'll do as you say and make arrangements to get the tractor ASAP and they can put the TNT on when they get it,,, transport at their expense.Personally I’d seal the deal if you think you got a good one, let them deliver the tractor now and ask them to do the TNT at first service or just plan to bring back in when they get the parts.

We are still boiling sap. But I have daffodils blooming from today. Good luck and enjoy the machine. There is nothing quite like the new tractor/tire smell. Enjoy it, it wears off quick if playing in/near manure.Yeah, still snow on the ground here and may be more to come before our winter is over. Then the melt/mud season for a month or so.

Top and tilt is easy to fit. They could send it to you and you could put it on. So long as they're doing the rear remotes before it leaves them, it's just plugging in a couple hoses, and replacing the top link and one side link with the new links with cylinders on them.Yeah, still snow on the ground here and may be more to come before our winter is over.

The new tractor was delivered this morning. Just in time for a week of mud/rain/snow and parking it in the garage. That's no fun!
