"I have a 30 hp diesel Bison and it starts right up and runs well but I have leaks all over the place. Can't locate any gaskets, seals or anything to stop it. Has good power for 30 hp but very light in the front. Weights are a must. I would like to find a list of loaders that fit this."

"Rugged tractor, with low fuel consumption, simple mechanic and design. I rated 2 dealer experience because there are no dealers and I have to rely on auto parts and other brand dealers who just want to sell you a new tractor. Better served by myself! Parts are hard to find but tractor almost never have problem and can have easily the parts rebuilt locally (water pump). The tractor easily starts at very low temperatures but not has low has. I can do with my 470D buck who always started even when anything else cannot, except snowmobiles! Engine misses some low end torque but the fuel consumption is very low. Access to the seat is also difficult with winter boots on the feet. Good braking and maneuverability. Traction power is surprising. The drive shaft is a little bit exposed and flimsy, I broke it on a stump. I made one with standard tubing. I use it to forward logs and I also have a front loader and backhoe on it. Like all tractors in winter, spiked tire chains are a must. Recommended to anybody who can do the maintenance by himself."
