"I have a couple hundred hours on this tractor now. It works very well. No maintenance issues, no unexpected costs. I can't think of anything negative to say. I wanted a lower price alternative to JD and Kubota and that is what I got. I am glad I chose the hydrostatic drive. I use the 4wd all the time. Use the loader a lot as well. I use it for landscaping and snow removal. I use it with a 84" backblade, subsoiler, 54" Howard rototiller"
