So got a mgx 135 out last night and first impressions are ok but ride isnt very smooth and it has suspension. Also its very jumpy between 4th and 5th gear? Any1 else have this problem?

Well it only arrived at that dealer few mins b4 i lifted it so id say they never looked at it. It wasnt even cleaned. But done first day with it there and its nice enought wee tractor. Spot lights are rubbish when your used with leds,dont like when ye stop at end o road there isnt a preset gear for startin of and ye have to go down thru them yourself which if ye forget she just stalls,radio is in bad place and wiper doesnt clear enough area,steerin doesnt have good lock?but plus side thers well positioned heater vents,linkage controls get thumbs up and everythin is fairly simple for others to just jump in and drive with no explainin needed?

Update left her back today way 120 more hours on her. Seems easy on the juice and has fair amount of power. More i drive it more i like it but as usual theres few dislikes like where 4wd button is on dash and fact he have to keep foot on pedal to keep rear diff engaged. Got run in 7152 in dealers really like it but would be lot more money

I do hope that the dealer is now making up an invoice for tractor hire to send out to you.

If you have placed an order then this invoice should be waived. But if you have had the tractor for 20 days and put 120 hours on the clock and you are not expecting a charge then frankly you are taking the pee!

I would hope he's not. If the dealer wanted it back sooner I'm sure he would have lifted it. As for the hours any dealer should specify a limit if a machine is going to be with someone for a while.

When we’ve had a tractor on demo they always say when they’re going to collect it and how much work to do with it. Normally they say ‘use it as much as you can, canttbe an accurate demo if you don’t’.
In fact one dealer got really upset when we only put 30 hrs on it in 5 days!
