Strengths This tractor is a brute. I replaced a L3710 HST with this one. Has more then enough power. It now has 55 hours on it. With fluid filled tires this tractor weighs 3.2 tons. I can push 8 inch cedar trees out with it.

Weaknesses It has a cruse control lever that sticks up too high. Hit it with a tree branch and the tractor kept going when I let up on the HST pedal and it ran into the side of my barn. I put a bungee cord on it to keep it off.

Overall Love it- good on fuel.

Strengths Plenty power for compact tractor. Sips fuel at very slow rate. Power steering is simply incredible. Easy to maintain. Light enough as to not tear up yard when mowing with R4s but weights can be added as necessary.

Weaknesses Maybe a sychronize trans to help prevent grinding gears. Tool storage. More FEL lifting capacity but that may only come with a larger machine

Overall Very happy, a lot of bang for the buck...
