Well, I do not own one, but wish I did... I sat on one at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, KY, last week and it is one very nice unit... I spoke at length with their Compact Product Mgr. at the show... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I have a 1993 grey market Iseki, and they make this unit as well. Mine has many of the same features. the 1433V "Value" model is essentially the same as the 1433 except 8 gears F/R vs 16 and a couple of other bells and whistles.. It has the shuttle shift of course... I would be very surprised /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif if you get much feedback on problems with these tractors.. Iseki (AGCO, Massey & Challenger) are known for quality and reliability.. other than cosmetics and minor updates.. this is basically the same as the Model 1240 it replaced and the 1145 before that..in terms of technology... It is not as heavy as some units out there, such as Kioti, Century but you can easily put fluid in the tires to make it of sufficient weight for use of the HP... If I had the money /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif, I would run down to the Massey Dealer 6 miles from me and buy one... Again, there are better "values" but no better quality than this unit.......
You could not go wrong with it.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
