Just bought one seems built ok but new stuff usally not built as well as the older equipment.Seems heavy for its size lifts well so far.
 
Congrats on your new tractor!
I have a re-badged (as a John Deere) Yanmar manufactured tractor that's about the same size as yours.
Mine is 29 years old and it's been pretty much bulletproof.
If you have a FEL and if it's anything like mine, be careful you don't bend the bucket up. The tractor has a little more oomph than the bucket can handle. I ended up having a new one made with slightly thicker steel. Also added a tooth bar to protect the cutting edge from getting bent.
 
I have the one in the middle, the 770. ;)
The Mrs. bought it for me but I think it was around $10K, 29 years ago. That same tractor (same year, same model) sells now for.... $10K. ;)
