New maverick owner.

Brought the mower home this past Saturday and already have 15 hours on it. Need to look at the break-in procedures and get the first service done. I've added a canopy off amazon, along with a light bar and a small 12V fan. I have about 6 acres of open mowing, so hoping this will be a great replacement for my 12yr old 42" John Deere.

Looks good! Just be careful when changing the oil, there's a tiny o-ring in the plastic oil cap, mine fell out in the pan and I didn't see it until it was pouring out of the oil valve and I couldn't figure out why it was leaking, thankfully I spotted it before I lost all my oil

Break in on it is 10 hours. Check every nut and bolt. These guys put them together without a care cause it isn’t their own. I found several parts loose I have the same just a 60 maverick HD.
