Strengths Smoothness of the synchronized gears are amazing. Lots of power. Comfortable seating area with excellent access to all controls. Noise level is very low with 4 cylinder diesel compared to other 3 cylinder engines of same hp. Montana is heavier and feels more stable.

Weaknesses Haven't found any yet.

Overall This tractor is used on a high school farm in Appomattox Virginia. Affordable Tractors in Dublin, VA and Montana went out of their way to help our agriculture program. After looking and comparing tractors for about three years, it was determined by a committee that this is one of the top tractors on the market. If your looking you have to try a Montana.

Strengths So, far its a great tractor. I have 80 hrs on it and it has proven its self very useful. I have moved a lot of snow with it and the four wheel drive has not been a problem. I have cut heavy grass hay and it held the test great. I am very pleased thus far.

Weaknesses The owners manual is hard to follow as it is written overseas. The manual needs to be rewritten for use here in this country. When travelling down the road it seems that fourth gear isn't very fast. Takes a while to get where your going. Otherwise, no concerns yet.

Overall Great Tractor! We use it for a variety of work from cleaning corrals, moving snow, cleaning ditches to cutting hay.
