Do you want to continually hop on and off to adjust your rake angle and tilt? I said the same thing as you when I bought my tractor. I regret not getting remotes installed with the original purchase.
I can see your point about adjusting and tilting The Rake. In my case, I've used the Titan 72" rake without any kind of hydraulic support. Just using the three-point system and finding that the rake does what it needs to do in the forest-like area. If I was using it for fine grading it would be a different story but not in my case. So I think a dollar saved is a dollar earned, but thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks. Went to the various websites as you pointed out Titan and Goodyear, both have different nomenclatures for outside ,wheel and rim size and width. I guess I'll ask somebody that's in the entire business. Thanks for your help though.
Titan and Goodyear are two different brands of ag tires from the same company. 43x16.00 20NHS R14T tires have an outside diameter of 44.22” per Titan/Goodyear.

I would consider what is "common" in your parts.

In our parts a L3901 is expected to have a 3rd function on the front and at least a couple of rear hyd. options.

W/O people would wonder why, it would be a harder sell, etc.... Getting it from dealer at time of sale is like 1/2 price vs doing it after the fact if your mindset changes. I think you get back the 1/2 price costs and more vs the new owner doing if needed.

But if its going to be your forever machine and your sure no need then save the cash.

congrats!!

Well thanks to all you guys it's finally here. Love the new L3902HST functions and especially the upgraded power from my old L2501HST. Can't wait to use it. We got a week of rain here in South Carolina. So the best I can do, is visit it in the second garage. I guess I have to change my profile picture? Also notice the new R14 tires these are the 8600 group.

Congrats on the new ride!

Now you just have to modify the rops so that it wont hit your garage door.
