This is a nice to know thing that you didn’t mention. The silver turn knob below your seat is a control for how fast your 3 point hitch will go down, so if you have something heavy and it seems to slam down or takes to long to go down, jut turn the knob to adjust it.
Also I recommend you get obsessive about maintenance. Even to the point of doing things ahead of the recommended schedule. The more you learn and check your machine the quicker you can spot and address problems.
Nice video - 90+ percent of tractor videos are essentially "Here's why you should buy the Macho 4250 as your next tractor". Mind you, there is some value in marketing information/product awareness, but I think these sorts of practical tips remain an underserved area.
At 3:47, it looks like one of the bolts holding your loader to the frame of the tractor has backed out. Add check fasterners to the list of things to check when you grease the loader.
I immediately changed that stupid seatbelt out for a retractable version - I found that I was tucking it around the back of the seat so in-the-moment wasn't inclined to use it. With the retractable it's right there and I don't have any excuse. Got mine from Wesco Performance.
I love those little tractors I really want one but they aren’t powerful enough for most of my tasks. Maybe my wife will buy me one for Christmas or something. 😂
Thanks, lucky guy, you bought a great tractor.
Definitely loving it so far!

OK cool, I'll check it out!

Totally makes sense!

Thanks! Now you got me looking for the Macho 4250 though!

Good spot! Thanks for letting me know, getting that fixed right now.
Somebody's got a good eye ....didn't see that !

That's cool to know, thanks for sharing. Good idea!
