Six Years Later, I Now Feel Ready to Review
Model Year: 2006
I love this tractor. I have had a couple minor problems, one of the rear tires just came off the rim at about 50 hours sending rim guard all over the place. They replaced that free of charge. The 12 LA loader is a bit tight on the hoses and one got pinched in there and I had to replace. A few extra cable ties seem to have prevented recurrence. It starts in cold weather without a block heater. Cuts grass, moves snow and dirt.
Pros: Nimble, good on fuel, plenty of power for what it was designed to do.
Cons: Could really use a middle range for the HST. Dealer went out of business a year or so after I bought it. Loader could be a little stronger, but it's not any worse than others in this size range.
