"All-in-all, it an excellent tractor. It has been a God-send to me as I have very steep property. The FEL also. I stay off the hills when it's wet or damp as it can get very slippery."

"The tractor has been a good value for me during the last 7 years. It still has the original battery and the only problem was with a defective fuel filter assembly that caused the tractor to shut down during use. It does not seem as heavy duty as my old Ford 1700, but it is more nimble and quick."

"The only problem is that the hydraulic front lift is weak."

"This machine was used predominantly for snow blowing etc. a long drive and for small things like fencing, moving hay. It is a wonderful reliable easy to maintain tractor. All I had to do was replace some of the rubber hydraulic piping ( we are cold,sunny and dry in the high mountains which contributes to rubber degradation after a while) and change the oil and filter every year. Otherwise no issues at all. It is now for sale ( $12k w/ all the toys) since I bought a honking great Zetor with a Cab at a bargain price from a bankruptcy, otherwise I would continue to be happy with this machine"
