Strengths Fit and finish is very good. It fills like a larger tractor than it is. Good tight turns and very stable in hills. Good power in low range. Mowes very well, nice and smooth. Very easy to change implements ( loader, rear blade and 54 inch deck ). I shopped for 3 months and bought the BLUE. The red, orange and green are all good tractors but the BLUE was the best for me. Drive one, you'll like it.

Weaknesses High range maybe geared alittle too high. Cup holder is not deep enough to be used and wire that hold the tool box on is a joke. I know the last two things don't have anything to do with the way the tractor works but, if it is on the tractor it should be as well made as the tractor.

Overall Great little tractor. Easy to drive very well made. Compared to the JD 2305, MF 2400 and Kubot B2360 you can't go wrong with New Holland. Just because they put more money in ads and promos don't mean there better.

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.
