Did I miss the pics?
And what was the surprise? (Was it the tires loaded? I assume if you checked the tire pressure you found out pretty quick)
I just bought my first tractor!

It was a long day, had lots to do. Anyways, the tractor is parked in the garage. I put the bucket on, nailed it first time using the SSQA. A lot easier than I thought. This is really my first time using it, a little nerve wracking and intimidating but I'm sure with some seat time I'll get the hang of it. I was surprised to find out the rear wheels were loaded with beet juice. I don't think I'll need that ballast box when I get the box blade. But we will see.
It's a little tight in the garage with the side by side, but I'll be selling that soon..at least it fits with room to spare! Don't worry, the bucket is fully down, no pressure. Just sitting on a piece of wood.
No issues so far with the tractor. I found a loose bolt around the filter on the no stepside. Not sure why that was loose. I tightened it back up. The other issue was no hazard lights but I took a peek under the dash and it was unplugged. Perhaps it unplugged by itself from vibration or shock. Who knows. Maybe the previous unplugged it. Not sure but plugged it back in and it works perfectly fine.
So here's the surprise!
The John Deere dealer gave us some hats!!

Great deal on your tractor. I have loaded tires and a box blade on the back. I can lift a full heaped bucket of wet snow with no problems at all. You are gonna love working with the L2501. They are amazing tractors for their size.
I was worried about the turning radius but I'm like woah, it's actually not that bad! I'm just plowing snow with since I have a plow for it so I think the loaded tires will give me plenty of traction for my flat driveway without the need for the ballast box, hopefully.
