Strengths purchased new in july of 2005. Has 200+ hours and works like a champ. Only problem was a stuck tilt wheel. Dealer fixed quickly, no problems since. Tractor has excellent power and tight turning radius, works like a tractor twice its size.

Weaknesses front r-4's are a little thin. need to be 6 ply. paint on the e-touch controls needs to be more durable(already rubbed mine off). Maybe clear coat the top of the buttons??

Overall I am very pleased with this tractor. It is one tough machine.

Strengths All implements added after initial purchase. This is a 2002 I get in 2004 with 200 hours. I regularly haul full loader of firewood and pull an overloaded trailer up a steep incline with no trouble - even with turf tires.

Weaknesses Some of the plastic around the hood near the fuel cap door have snapped-off. The MMM is a bit difficult to put on and off - particularly the pins near the rear of the deck. A couple of batteries have been needed, but that was my poor maintenance. Loader Bucket could be larger. Chaining the rear tires for the winter causes the left rear chain to rub on the inner fender well.

Overall This is one reliable machine.

Strengths I have over 300 hours since new 2004. Overall is good machine, It weights about 1000 lbs more than the kubota and can lift about 150 lbs more.

Weaknesses I think front tires are weak also (plugged mine twice) Also it is hard to make it up hill with a full load of stones

Overall great machine with residule value

Strengths 800 + hours and no break downs.purchased new in 2002. have worked this little tractor hard, and it just goes back for more

Weaknesses front turf tires need to be at least 6 ply rather than the four ply .they are the definite weak spot.I have plugged the right front at least 10 times

Overall
