Hi Jeff - Just looked at those 4 reviews for the first time. Based on posting date and claimed years of use, it looks like they are all 2004's (+/-) like mine. Funny... I never felt that way about FEL speed with my 2004... although I'll admit that I never use it in a big hurry and have no other tractor around that's equal in size to compare it to. It's just about right for me... but I'll let others address that point. I can tell you that the hydraulic flow spec has been pushed up on newer models... 2006's and 2007's I believe. Check it out.

I do agree (with those reviews) that the stock FEL bucket is too light duty for a tractor and loader of that size and capability. I bought a new 78" KMW-made heavy-duty bucket for mine... admittedly, probably a little wide for most of my usual uses... and am currently reinforcing my old 72" bucket, adding top reinforcement, three hooks, bottom reinforcement, a new hardened cutting edge and probably will be adding some serious teeth soon as well. By the time I am done it will be a VERY serious digging bucket.
