No Regrets Whatsoever!
Model Year: 2007
Purchased new at Boulder Equipment near Vancouver, WA. delivered to my property some 50 miles away. Excellent dealer sales and service. Only 1 warranty issue, a cable harness, that was quickly taken care of to my complete satisfaction. Everything about this tractor spells comfort; 4WD, power steering, sprung seat, shuttle shift, heavy weight, extended capacity hydraulics, electric PTO, and the near ground level fuel filler. I can spend twice as much time on this tractor as my JD and still feel I have energy left over at the end of the day. I don't need to run it hard so I get 0.5 gal/hour fuel consumption. The backhoe has a sub-frame which was far superior to JD's setup. In my opinion this tractor has no equal; it's the best of the best.
Pros: Easy handling in tight spots; very comfortable to operate.
Cons: Front loader controls make entry/exit on right side nearly impossible.
