"It is a small tractor that thinks its a full grown tractor. Even with 100lbs of bumper weight I often loose traction on the front when hooked up with a 4' rotary mower.
The yanmar diesel with just 18hp is just whats needed for my 2 acres. Sure more HP would be nice but I don't need it. The 9 speed gears allow for torque selection that will exceed what my turf tires can hold. While sipping on fuel. 5 gallons of diesel last forever.
Only wish would be for a modern style 3 point lift control that shows lift amount. Would make for more precise box scrape work. "
