Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered one.I wasn't sure where to post this, but I settled on this section. Apologies if I'm wrong. Anyways, I was all excited to finally get a set of mirrors for my 1025R. Some physical limitations have made it harder to turn my neck like I used to, especially all bundled up in the cold weather. When the family is all outside removing snow, there are a lot of moving parts and safety needs to be paramount, so I started looking for a good set of mirrors. The Mudd's Customs bolt-on ones always seem to be out-of-stock, so I started looking at other options. I found a set made by 5ElevenDesignz that use magnets to attach the mirror frames to the loader arms (or any other metal on the tractor). The shipment arrived in two days. We got nearly 10inches of snow a only a few days after I received the mirrors and got them attached and adjusted properly. While cleaning off the driveway, I brushed a mirror against a garbage can and it fell to my concrete driveway. I was heartbroken to see that it cracked in several places. Nearly zero degrees and concrete will do that to most things. On a whim I emailed the company and asked for a replacement, considering I just purchased the set. I was shocked when they emailed me back and indicated they would "absolutely" ship me a replacement immediately. I guess great customer service still exists in some places. I have no relationship with the company other than being a customer. With service like that, though, I will certainly be a repeat customer and I'm already looking at some of the other cool custom stuff they make for my tractor.

When my hydraulic system had a explosive issue before Christmas and I lost the tractor for 8 weeks I was mad at myself for not being able to diagnose the problem. It turned out that the hydraulic pump went bad. Watching a YouTube video showed me the replacement was easy-it's the diagnostic process that's steep to me. Hopefully a few hundred more hours of operation will give me some more experience to draw upon. I'm finding excuses to use the machine for anything I can find. Last fall I pushed it to the max getting a 900lb antique safe into the house through a patio slider. I barely cleared the step.
