Great Value
Model Year: 2009

We use this tractor both with a snowblower and backhoe. It performs great. We have a leaking fuel tank issue that just started. The only other issue we have had is transmission shift lever locking out.

Pros: Good quality, great price
Cons: None

Pros Cons
Model Year: 2009

Love the machine plenty of power to run bush hog mower and double bottom plow and 6 foot tiller. Front end loader works great with no counter weight needed except in really soft ground. Cons: seat comfortable but transmits shock, fuel tank vulnerable to damage from brush. Enclosed tank front in 1/8 inch aluminium. Love the cab, excellent visibility and the heat in winter is great.

Pros: Good power reliable stable.
Cons: Seat vulnerable fuel tank.

5740 Cab in Central Texas
Model Year: 2008

This tractor has been a very good tractor. I have cleared 40 Acres of Cedar and Mesquite trees with the bucket, moved a lot of dirt and currently farm 60 acres of oats. Gets a little hot if pulling too hard, but can be expected if overloaded.

Pros: A/C with no dirt on you!
Cons: Seat horrible, replaced. Shifter and fuel tank leaks.

I pretty much bought this machine blind at a trade show. Very well presented. Good salesman. But I must of got lucky. I've got a machine I depend on every day. Has yet to let me down. Over 900 hrs. on a 5 yr. old. Must have a strong clutch! I got what I paid for! Used with utility bucket. snow bucket, forks, backhoe, mower, cement, mixer, cultivator, woodsplitter. With 57 HP, it handles it all without complaint. I live in the northwest so the deluxe cab is mandatory!

Pros: Power with comfort.
Cons: Shifting (lots of clutch work).
