I've got one of the 24 hp units and have put about 10 hours on it so far. I really (REALLY) like the layout of the machine and the overall quality. I considered getting the 32 hp machine, but with my knees I would have been really hurting climbing up and down all the time. The SC2400 is very easy to get on and off.
The loader design seems to be well thought out and so far has moved some nicely sized boulders around the property. I've filled the rear wheels with Rim Guard and have a 300# cement
ballast for the 3 point. It seems very steady on the rolling ground around here.
Not terribly impressed with the traction of the R4s in the mud though, and will be picking up a set of chains for the rear wheels this week.
What would I change? Coming from a JD 318, everything is taking some getting used to. So far I find that I very much miss having split brakes. My JD 318 had them, and there have been a number of times that I've already needed them, most noticeably when back-dragging with the loader. Even a slight lift on the front end does away with steering ability, and being able to lock one of the rears would be nice. Apparently it's common on the SCUTs to not have the split brakes, but it would be nice. The other thing that's apparent is the lack of a toolbox. They should have found a place to store all the necessary pins, clips, etc. My solution so far is to use a soft-sided toolbag shoved under the seat.
I've added a rear-facing work light and a beacon for the top of the ROPS so the cars don't smack into me when I work along the road frontage.
I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure out how.
