Strengths easy to attach implements. smooth operation with power steering and auto four wheel drive.

Weaknesses the standard mower deck does not float so it is not a clean cut.

Overall during the short time I have owned it, I am happy with it. I went to buy a new filter for the hydraulics and found 1 for $69.00 painted black and in a plastic bag. The same unit unpainted in a box was $15.00. Under the paint, it was the same number.

Strengths this machine is Very comfortable,excellent control layout and has tons of power I realy like the automatic 4x4 it works seamlesly .very powerful hydraulic.sit also has very bright work lights that being said it doent have a rear work lamp

Weaknesses Needs glow plugs even in warm weather to start not a huge deal but a little annoying. front end seems to clunk and rattle when you hit large bumps.

Overall Very nice tractor with tons of features lots of power I would definatly recomend this tractor to anyone. its a little bit more money than the others but it is worth it for the hydraulic power differnce alone. My brother has a JD2305 the NH 1030 is just a more refined tractor he even thinks so plus it has a horn (Bonus)
