Happy with Tractor
Model Year: 2010
I'm happy with the tractor and its performance, but when I purchased it new in 2010, the unit didn't include a hydro-static transmission and it's cumbersome to use when having to shift between forward and reverse, especially when spreading gravel in shed and mowing. I would purchase another Yanmar Cub Cadet, but it would have to have the automatic shift and I wouldn't buy it from the dealer I purchased from originally. The dealer is only interested in the original sale, no follow-up.
Pros: Easy to use except for the shifting of the transmission, just the right size for transporting between home and the farm property (40 miles).
Cons: No hydro-static transmission, no 3-pt. extendable arms, would like to have belly mower so that attachment don't have to be exchanged often just to mow.
