Strengths It does kick ass - when I bought it, it would not climb up the hill at my place in the NC mtn. Turns out, the jack offs at the service place did not compensate for the loader and backhoe cylinders and it did not have enough hydraulic oil. After that, it can climb a tree - big 90 backhoe and sized front loader make it a good tractor overall. Traded in a 30HP - no comparison

Weaknesses Not sure about the stall and other bells/whistles.

Overall

Strengths Plenty of power at the PTO. It really pulls my 5 foot Woods brush bull(1,000 pounds)well. The HST plus option makes cutting around a pond easy. The front end loader also made quick work out of pushing up a large locust stump. Removal and reinstallation of the bucket is easy and the whole loader is not much harder to remove / install. The telescopic end links are nice for heavy implements and seem to function well.

Weaknesses Visibility of the bucket ends is poor, as is visibility of the outer edge of the rear tires. This makes navigating through the woods a bit tricky. The auto throttle advance got stuck in a slow creep forward once and almost caused a collision. Hopefully this is just an adjustment issue.

Overall I am satisfied with the power of the tractor, as well as the ground clearance. The advanced features of the HST plus transmission (stall guard and auto dual speed) are as of yet unproven. The good thing is you can always revert to standard HST operation if desired. The 36 month 0% financing was a nice surprise that enabled me to purchase this tractor earlier than would have been possible with traditional rates. Overall I am well pleased.
