Strengths Excellent visability with hood design, like the 2 pedal hydro and the 2 speed in each range,love the great layout of controls, nice flat unobstructed deck area. Also engine runs great starts in the cold just fine, really good on fuel. I had a DX33 before and 2 For New Hollands before that, for use on the farm and landscaping business, all have been trouble free. Thousands of hours use. Much better reliability than my brothers John Deeres, when they are both on the job, everyone prefers to run the Case, except of course by brother (he just doesn't get it, HaHA). The last 2 machines have been in to the dealer only once, for one,small problem with the tilt wheel. Just a real nice machine to run in tight quarters or out mowing ditches or vacant lots. Dealer network is excellent, at least in this area.

Weaknesses JUst like everything, would be nicer if they were a lot cheaper, but I won't hold my breath.

Overall Excellent machine, We have been in the farming business, home building and development, all our lives, we know good equipment, this is a good tractor.

Strengths Hydro with electric two speed trans works great. In and out of 2 / 4 wheel drive, PTO is easy. VERY manuverable forward or reverse. Steep hills are not a problem to mow.

Weaknesses Chaft is a problem around radiator- no good seal around the hood causes overheating. I Had to add a skid-plate to prevent brush from breaking the wiring under the tractor.

Overall Excellent mechanically, lacking in body design.
