The engine runs good. It does use more fuel to do a job than my ford 4000 gas would use. On hay, I use a ztr 185 drum mower and it handles it good. On baling, (sq bales) I could not tell that the baler was back there. The tires do walk sideways on the hillsides some. Just getting used to it. As soon as it stops rain, I will be back in the hay field. Another 1500 bales to do.
About the only down side so far, is after 2-3 hours running, the heat off the engine, transmission, rear end is more than the AC can keep cool. And you had to put on gloves to take off the PTO shaft, it was so hot.
