Strengths Very Powerful engine, quite, trenmenous amount of torque with no effort. 4WD goes through snow like a hot knife through butter. Easy access to fluids, coolant, rad screen, battery ect. Starts in one revolution under any condition even below -20 with or without block heater. Very reliable tractor for what ever operation it conducts. R1 tires make traction excellent, don't even need chains. Good clearance, and good view from the drivers seat.

Weaknesses None

Overall THis Tractor rides like a cadillac no question hands down. So smooth and comfortable makes it enjoyable and relaxing. I would commendant this tractor to anyone interested a 30-hp , medium sized utlity tractor, for small sized yard , farm.

Strengths Fast, and very nice while mowing

Weaknesses Very tippy

Overall Happy

Strengths stearing, speed, smoothness, power, comfort

Weaknesses refuling, more diesel seems to go on the hood then in the tank when filling from a jerry ca.

Overall My dealer reversed the wheel wheels out to allow for a wider stance helping with stability on hills especially with the loader. This also provides pleanty of room at the 3 point hitch.

Strengths Lots of power, both for digging and tilling. Dug drainage ditch 5'X400'. Recently put in 2 acres of new lawn, tiller was relentless

Weaknesses 3 point hitch crowds the rear tires with or without anything in the I-match hitch. John Deere currently doesn't have a fix.

Overall Happy with the purchase and performance

Strengths Dealer. Financing. Power. 4X4. Differential Lock. Extra hydraulic flow and cooler (over 2320). Independently, all attachments are extremely easy on and off and perform as expected. Loader and Backhoe work well together. Deck and Bagger work well together with 5 front weights. Loader works well with ballast box (no backhoe) when weighted appropriately.

Weaknesses Front tires (R4) rub backhoe brackets attached to loader bracket on hard turns. Rear tires had to be reversed to fit backhoe. When attaching backhoe with independent deck lift kit, there are lift kit brackets that need to be switched and some removed to allow for backhoe. Takes about an hour to remove deck lift brackets to allow backhoe to be attached. Once brackets are removed, backhoe attaches in minutes. I recommend considering other mower options if you plan to get the backhoe. Hood could use a lift assist, a little awkward when loader is attached. Should come standard with a toolbox and rear fender extenders.

Overall Along with the above implements, there were some mandatory items such as Power Beyond Kit for backhoe, Power Flow Kit for Bagger and Belt Cover Kit for Deck included in the above price. If not for the non-compatibility between backhoe and independent deck lift kit this is one awesome tractor and set-up. I would buy it again...without independent deck lift kit of course :).

Strengths Easy to use, Great Dealer support, Lots of power for such a small tractor.

Weaknesses None yet

Overall I just love this tractor with the hydostat transmission. I had Ford 1920 MFWD tractor with the manual transmission and I was constantly having to shift.

Strengths Adequate power for low range when mowing on moderate grades.Starts nicely in cold weather. Fast 3 pt hitch is nice.

Weaknesses Hi range trans setting has zero power for anything but transport over level roads. Lots of hydraulic chatter and flow noises when operating. Right side rear drive hub emits alot of whining noise. Dislike the requirement to change frame brackets for mower/plow changes. Not at all easy and optional brush guard cannot be used with snow plow. ROPS can't be folded down cleanly like other makes. Factory support of service manual is dismal been waiting 6 months. I do in many ways wished I opted for the similiar size Kubota.

Overall I like the ease of removing and installing the mower deck, It is a comfortable tractor to operate.

Strengths Seems to have more than enough power for every use ive had so far including mowing tall wet grass, Digging post holes for decks, gravel/dirt moving, removing blacktop driveway, hoisting motors into and out of vehicles etc. Also great financing package through deere.

Weaknesses wheels on mower deck will cut into sod if you switch from forward to reverse, ive tried greasing them, but no luck, they just dont seem to swivel well enough.

Overall Very pleased with the purchase. Just have to remember to lift the deck before reversing.

Strengths Great maneuverability and staibility. Quick detach loader & bucket.

Weaknesses None so far.

Overall Pleased with the overall performance and ease of use.

Strengths Loader goes off/on with ease and was well matched to my work. Mows well at speed and up small hills. This is a deck with the mechanical, not hydrolic, lift mechanism. Easy to mow with the loader attached. Snowblower still an unknown :-)

Weaknesses Mower deck front bracket not machined well and did not fit properly. This was fixed by the dealer. This is a deck with the mechanical, not hydrolic, lift mechanism.

Overall I'm very pleased with the tractor - I don't think I'll wish I bought a bigger one for quite a while. Mowing about 5 acres, moving dirt gravel around, and plowing a 500' driveway are the intended uses.
