Purchased From : Joplin Farm & Lawn
Strengths Plenty of power, starts easily in cold weather,
Weaknesses Do they not put fluid in the rear tires anymore? The rear of the tractor is so light, that it's a problem. Pick up a bale of hay with the front end loader, and if you have any kind of grade to climb on wet soil...you ain't makin' it! Also, had to have the service department fix the individually powered lift arms on the loader...when an implement is not attached, one will respond faster than the other...this creats a problem sometimes hooking up bale fork or loader bucket.
Overall A great tractor for small time farmer/rancher who is going to use a front-end loader and feeds a few cows/horses. Would easily run an 8' Brush Hog if not in 2" sprouts. Buying weights or filling tires with fluid is an absolute must!

Years of Use : 1-2 Years Use
Implements : loader
Purchased From : lexington John Deere
Strengths plenty of power,starts easy in cold weather,checked all other brands and nobody offered more h.p.per dollar.
Weaknesses I had to purchase extra rear weights to eliminate wheel slip while pulling groundbreaking equip.and with full loader.i have had minor electrical problems with the heat guage and the pto alarm but the dealer corrected them easily.rear scv's and telescoping lift arm stabilizers should be standard.
Overall The price for the tractor and loader was less or equal to even the off brands.resale value is usually exellent for most deere products.the biggest gripe I have is the lack of telescopic stabilizers.They shouldnt cost much more to manufacture and are much easier to adjust.
