Strengths Smooth throttle, wide tires and stable stance on slops, excellent torque, quiet for a diesel engine, easy steering, runs all day on a tank of fuel, & heavy, low center of gravity feeling.

Weaknesses Not hydrostatic, but not a real problem, since throttle speeds up and slows the tractor very effectively

Overall A very fine tractor for maintaining about 5 acres with mowing, scaping and blading operations.

Strengths Power to size; options; quality built; economy.

Weaknesses Standard shift but not a problem for me to deal with.

Overall Great tractor.
