Well I got it home today, I have some work to do on it!

My first complaint is the way the hydraulics are set up to share a lever between the loader and the 3 point hitch--thats gotta go! Not sure, gotta ask the guy what I am doing wrong, but I can't make the hitch raise unless I run the loader right up to the top first. There's going to be some fab work getting a real bucket on there, plus dual acting cylinders...

Clutch seems to be out of adjustment or something... extremely stiff to push, VERY difficult to engage the PTO (lots of grinding first, even with the clutch on the boards), also seems almost like a delayed reaction between letting the clutch out and the tractor actually moving... might be something needing lube?

That is some heavy steering! Its my first loader tractor, and while I am no stranger to manual steering, this one is hard to turn! Can power steering be retrofitted to these? I've heard it was an option.

The tractor does seem a little hard to start--I shouldn't need the block heater in this weather!! I can hold the glow plugs for, like, 20 seconds or so like he showed me and it goes ok, but even seems to need glow plugs on a semi-warm start (ie: sitting for half an hour)... does this seem normal?

I didn't have much time to fool with it, basically drove it off the trailer and into the yard, and popped the tire chains off before I had to go out.
