Strengths good strong tractor, reliable starting, does the task I push on it.

Weaknesses hydrulic steering, quits after a hard workout, eletrical gauages dont work the best, skinny tires.

Overall Overal I give thumbs up for a cheap tractor.

Strengths I dug a pond 40' X 40' and 5' deep from Ga. red clay. I dig stumps, haul lumber, take care of a 400' private road, one acre pond and 4 acres. You need 4wd with a FEL. Plenty of power, enough to get you in trouble if not careful.

Weaknesses Parts are all Metric including the HYD hoses. Can not find this kind of equipment in SE Ga. Homier is getting better but slowly.

Overall I paid less than half the price of a Kobota or JD. Wish I had a parts store down the road it would make me feel better. I have had no major mechanical problems. oil filter for the 2425 is NAPA 1381, fuel NAPA 1395. I have so far not regreted this investment. It has already done what I wanted.

Strengths Price, I bought a demo model with less than 50 hrs. on it. Powerful When Grading Gravel Driveway, Moving Topsoil & fill dirt. But my experience is limited. Small enough to create a fence row swale for water drainage without destroying trees etc, but big enough to do the job with relative ease.

Weaknesses Manual is limited. Not made in U.S.A.

Overall I feel this is a good entry level machine that competes well with similiar type kubotas/J.D but for a fraction of the price.
