I really like the tractor. This is my first two-wheel drive tractor; prior to this I have owed four-wheel drive tractors. John Deere did a fine job of combining quality and good solid design into a utility tractor that is very decently priced. My only complain (and it is minor) is the weird noise that the hydraulic pump makes when it is not under load (use). John Deere reps. says this is normal for this model. I do hope the pump holds up outside the two year warranty (I think it will be fine).
