Strengths Simple well made machine. very strong hydraulics, reliable machine. Easy on fuel, uses more than half the fuel of the NH TC 45DA it was traded with. Good heating and a/c in the cab.

Weaknesses Have to add weight in the rear, front loader too strong has the rear wheels not touching the ground with a heavy load.

Overall I do STRONGLY suggest to take in consideration this tractor when shopping around. Shopped around green, orange, red and blue, and the kioti was the best all around tractor for my needs. Over a year of use, not a single breakdown. Using it for landscaping and snow removal. This is my 4th tractor and would buy it again.

Strengths Great dealer , good financing ,extramly fair trade in practices,Product is very easy to use, very powerful far more then anticipated, hoe is incredible,filters easy to access for service,detaching the loader or backhoe a breeze, best warrenty in the buisiness

Weaknesses All hst tractors rob a little horse power while operating the loader so I gear down a little and add to the throttle. I opperate @ 1600 rpm

Overall Compaired to the big guys, outsatanding product for the money.Regardles of money this tractor should be considerd

Strengths This is an awesome powerhouse! I have dug foundations with the FEL, hauled rock & gravel, raked & tedded hay, jockied too-full hay wagons with no problem. The tractor has sat out in zero degree weather and started right up! should have considered the cab model. I love the PTO switch that automatically turns off the pto when you pick up the lift arms-great safety feature; especially if you have little ones or are mowing around buildings.

Weaknesses haven't noticed any

Overall I can't think of one day since we've had it that we haven't used it. We use it for everything on the farm. The KL451 loader is very strong and durable. Looked at JD and have had one in the past; glad I didn't spend the extra $10K for that!

Strengths loads of power,roomy cab,great ventilation,solid construction,heavy weight

Weaknesses none found at this time

Overall

Strengths Tractor is loaded with features. FE loader is durable. Good price. Plenty of hp.

Weaknesses Needs a skid plate because underneath is likely to get caught up in brush. Parts are slow to come in. Rops is a problem, should fold into and not at the base.

Overall I have some very rough terrain to drive over (150 acres just cleared). I have had some problems with chaft around the radiator bull I think all tractors do this. Time will tell if I spent my money well.

Strengths Excellent handling, power is fine, ergonomics very good. The cab is cool, easy access for a fat boy, and gearing is right. Love the shuttle trany. Easy to hitch to impliments.

Weaknesses Not overly fuel efficient. Electric PTO switch does not let you ease into something like a baler, I shear pins. Placement of PTO switch means my arm hits it inadvertently. Needs repositioned to the dash very badly. Needs flip up PTO guard. Finally had to take it off to get my mower on.

Overall Love the size, comfort, and relative power. Very nice tractor
