Strengths Just wanted to give an update , I now have about 20 hrs. on the meter , I have to say though at least a third of those were put on by my 11 year old son. I let him do all the plowing for this years garden and some very small bucket work with the FEL ( under close supervision of course). This thing is a TANK , amazing power in such a little tractor , it will bury a middlebuster outta site. I have also used my 4' brushcutter and a 5' tiller , couldn't tell they were back there. The 4x4 is very nice and I don't know how I lived this long without hydro. I am glad I didn't go with the weaker , more expensive KB and who wants a chinese-made JD ?

Weaknesses It does seem to use quite a bit more fuel than my old Mitsu did , but then again it has 3x as much Hp. Also the parking brake lever sticks sometimes , other than that no problems , no leaks and no limitations.

Overall I tell everybody I meet about this little tractor , I love it. Dickson's is a great dealer and an old family friend. If he sells it it's worth buying. It is big enough to do anything I will ever need to do on my little 10 acre place ,including pulling the neighbors 9N out of a ditch. But small enough to use the FEL inside my 36x40 shop.

Strengths Great tractor for the $, I have only had it for a few weeks and its been great thus far. Plenty of power, easy to drive and use (intutative controls), looks great and quality of workmanship is high. The hydro is standard equipment so even my wife is pleased.

Weaknesses Not a popular by demand choice, but Yanmar has been making John Deere for years so I am confident in the quality. No cup holders and the black and yellow paint scheme look so great I had to buy a car cover for it.

Overall I looked and drove several makes and models, (unfortunately for them)JD and KB didn't offer test drives, based on their cost for the same size and hsp I am glad to give the EX3200 a try. The local dealer (primarily New Holland) stated since they came out none of these tractors have been back for anything other than scheduled maintence. 0% for 60 months, was also better then expected!

Strengths Seems to have plenty of power, and everything is user friendly as far as location and accessability. I have 50 hours on mine and I've really put it to the test several times. Overall, I'm very happy so far, especially for the price I paid.

Weaknesses Havent found anything to really complain about. One thing I've noticed is when going up a good hill, or pulling a trailer load of wood, I can sometimes smell the hydrostat, and that makes me alittle nervous, but at least it has a good warranty! And I am talking about a pretty heavy load of wood!

Overall People need to understand the limits of the machine you may purchase, and for comparable models in John Deere and Kubota you would spend many thousand dollars more. The only thing that concerns me is parts and service in the future. Only because Cub Cadet dealers are few and far between around me.

Strengths A lot of power in a small package.

Weaknesses None yet , only have a few hours on it.

Overall I just bought this tractor a coupla weeks ago, after shopping around for nearly 2 years . It seems to be built at least as well as a Kubota or John Deere , the same size and the price is very competitive.There are a few small details about it that put it at the top of my list. Such as; the tie rods for the front steering is BEHIND the front axle , and the EX3200 only comes in Hydrostatic and it's the only one that I found that does not lose any of it's horsepower rating by being hydro , most other models lose 2-3 hp. The fit and finish is great and the dealer and financing have been wonderful.I will update as as the hour meter turns.
