Strengths Excellent quality compact tractor, plenty of power, the hydrostatic transmission works very well.

Weaknesses Two minor complaints, the location of the parking brake release makes it somewhat difficult to disengage, and could use step to allow the operator to get on and off from the right side.

Overall I have had the tractor for about two months and have put about 120 hours on it. I am using this tractor for mowing, to install drainage ditches around the house, to clear and burn brush, and to remove trees on a rather steep piece of property. I have nothing but good things to say about this tractor.

Strengths Nice Power, steering radius good, I really like the hydrostatic transmission. My own experience is that this is a very good buy for under $25K with front end loader. This is a very good basic tractor for the money.

Weaknesses Be sure to ask for a rear light. There is a slow oil leak in the front differntial - but will be taken care of by dealer. Very little to complain about on this tractor. Going in and out of 4wd is not always real smooth - but not a big issue.

Overall I would buy the tractor again. I'm enjoying it. Today I moved heavy dirt and the tractor did a wonderful job of digging down and moving the pile. I'm impressed with it.

Strengths Power is good, nothing else is worth the price of the tractor,

Weaknesses Low lift on the bucket, transmission is weak, clutch is troublesome and hard to use, 3 point is not powerful for heavy duty equipment, cheap crap.

Overall See weaknesses. I have nothing good to say about this machine.
