Strengths Have only had this tractor for one month so I am limited in comments. This tractor replaces a Troybilt GX 18, (Bolens), garden tractor with a Kohler 18hp gas engine. Tight turnining radius, easy to access engine, incrediblly easy to operate. Great visibility over the hood, excellent lighting, tight fit and finish with heavy welds, easy (relatively speaking) removal of belly mowing deck, controls at finger tips. Plenty of engine strenght for my needs. Fairly quiet compared to my previous tractor. Excellent weight dispersion on turf. Convenient fuel fill location. Clearly written manual.

Weaknesses Have not had the unit long enough to find any weaknesses. Will post back later for an update when I get more hours on it.

Overall I could not find any reviews on this particular machine so I took a leap of faith in its purchase based on other New Holland reviews. My dealership is within walking distance to my house and they were willing to give me a generous trade in value on my other tractor. So far I am please with this machine but it is too new to truely endorse this machine.
