"It is just like any other equipment that has a quality heritage. Change the oil and filters per schedule and grease bushings every 5 to 10 hours of operation and it continues to run like a top. I have never had a problem with the tractor. I purchased it from JTI in The Dalles Oregon. They have been great help with filters, oil, and implements. Would highly recommend them. The primary use is moving logs and moving cut fire wood on pallets. In winter, it is removing snow on 1000 feet of driveway and the neighbors driveways. "

"It starts normally and then when you least expect it it just will not start. I have tried everything, then as mysteriously as it began it starts as if no problem at all. It has stranded me more than once and is very frustrating. I wiggle all switches, and work all levers, then after walking away, lo and behold it starts normally. I can't isolate any particular problem and i is driving me crazy. Anyone else having this problem ? "
