"This is about the most poorly designed tractor ever. Access to the engine compartment is blocked by the bucket assembly. The battery can not be accessed without removing the front grill and fuel filter. The fuel access is 5 feet above ground. For the last 5 years, I have had to work around an electrical problem the dealer can not fix. The tractor will stop running for no reason but after a week or so will start right up. Now, it will not shut off when the key is turned off. It must be stopped with the fuel shutoff and will then not start. It's back to the dealer again. "

"It is a great tractor for everything I want to do. I have a front end loader on this tractor with a 4-in-1 bucket. I have discs, rototillers, rakes, spreaders, mowers and many other implements for this tractor. It has the power to do everything I want to do and has been very dependable. I have used this tractor to mow, load sand & mulch,grade, move snow, dig potatoes, spray fence lines and even use the front bucket to clamp onto & remove saplings and some small trees. "
