Does anyone know the standard warranty terms for a MF-1240? None of the sales info I have on hand mentions it, and the web site is pretty lame. I'll ask my salesman next time I call, but I feel like I've pestered him enough this week.Thanks,Gary Conley<br>Crozet, VA

Warranty on new MF 1240

Thanks for the responses! I spent three hours Saturday at the dealership, riding around on different tractors. I definitely liked the ride and stability of the 1240 w/FEL - drove it all around a right steep hill, turning this way and that, two and four wheel drive. The AG tires chewed up the grass right bad, so they're definitely out. I tried a 1230 with FEL and turf tires, and it really handled well, but I didn't care for that FEL control lever banging against my thigh. The only unit they had available with R4s was a 1233 - man, that thing like to beat me to death! I think the seat was bolted straight to the transmission housing! Anyway, I tried the same maneuvers on the hill with the R4s, and they didn't tear anything up except the loose dirt. Probably not the best test, since the 1233 didn't have a loader or fluid in the tires, but I think I can make do with the R4s. If push comes to shove, I can always continue to mow the damp areas I'm worried about using the little garden tractor.

So... I went ahead and filled out the paperwork on the 1240 with GB 240 FEL, First Choice 72" finishing mower, and 5' box blade. Now, if they can only get the R4s! Sounds like I'll have to wait at least a week before I can get my hands on the beast, but I guess that gives me time to talk the boss into letting me off for a day or two...

Thanks again,
