"Under-powered, the tractor can barely climb the slightest incline, even in 4-wheel drive and idling at 2200 RPM. But to date, the most frustrating aspect is that the top link mount for the post hole auger that I purchased along with the tractor is welded about 1/16 of an inch too narrow to accept the auger boom. A $16,000+ machine should work, or am I asking too much? I have $1,000 worth of trees to plant and a $16,000 machine that sits worthless. I am more than frustrated. "

"This is a a great little tractor with a strong loader. My issue currently is the clutch switch, which must be heated in very cold temperatures. It has a strong engine and an easy to use hydrostatic transmission as well as an easy to use locking axle. It is great on diesel fuel. It also starts easily if the switch is heated, even in sub-zero temps. Highly recommend!"

"For a small tractor, this thing can get the work done. I use it on my 6 acre property for driveway grooming, cleaning out loafing sheds, snow removal, trenching, and anything else I can throw at it. So far it has not flinched. The only problems I have had were minor and addressed promptly by my dealer. I think the build quality is right up there with the other brands and the larger tire size helps it get trough tougher spots. By comparison to other machines in this HP range this has the look and feel of a real tractor, not an overgrown lawn mower. "

"After one year of use I am still very pleased with the performance of this machine. I have had 4 warranty repairs performed ALL with no questions asked. Like ALL tractors this size they are limited by traction not HP for ground engagement type work. The FEL is easy on and off. The MMM is more difficult to remove than the one on my Kubota BX."
