What A Beauty
Model Year: 2013
I have just given the tractor its 400 hour service and thought I'd write an update. I tend to work my Apollo pretty hard and it's performed really well. It gets used for moving lots of dirt, slashing, fetching (and splitting) firewood, fencing and clearing. When I say lots of dirt has been moved, read it very loudly. I cracked the loader frame just out of warranty and it was repaired by the dealer at no cost. I'm really impressed with the low fuel usage and the serious traction, and by the dealer's support. At 400 hours, I have a couple of minor hydraulic fluid weeps which I do not regard as unreasonable. I'm happy with my little tractor.
Pros: Excellent economy, good dealer backup, works as it should, reliable
Cons: Clutch and shuttle can be a bit sticky at times
