that one almost looks like it is an articulating unit only on it;s side! lol.
anyohw I've heard of them breaking too, usually abuse related is what everyone says, bbut who really knows.
almost all the CUTs are engine/trans become the frame like others have said.
If you want to ckeck into the china brands of tractors, since you are buying NEW, you can get lots of additional goodies with the savings. I've got a JINMA284 TLB with several 3pt items and have less than 12K into them. THe hoe is a sub frame mount type and takes about 15 min to install, but about 8 to remove. it takes a few min longer to install cause it is hard to line up the pins. I have lots of fun wiht it though. dug lots of holes and a long trench for elec, water ect to the new barn. and been using the FEL and box blade to clean out gravel form the creek and then dump into the base of the barn for fill. It needs about 12 more inches up front corner. so I have lots more digging to do! biggest problem is getting into and out of the creek and having the dump trailer close enough to fill up with each loader pass, and then having to RE-HOOK up the trailer to tow back to the barn. I'm getting LOTS of BIG flat rocks too for walk ways later on. though I usually try to take it easy on my import tractor I did buy it to WORK it. and it is very HEAVY, so getting into a wet creek is hard I can only got in/out 3 or 4 times and the ground gets to soft and it gets squisshy! hehehe. anyhow have fun and get tractoring!
