A little over 350 hours coming up on it's 2 years old & the honeymoon is over between me & my M62, it's got dings & scratches all over it and it's in dire need of a bath. I think it performs better with the neglect though. Anyway, I run a landpride 12' batwing on 65 acres, have 2" spacers on the rears, also run a 48" Bradco trencher, a land leveler, single spindle bushhog, auger, a piece of crap sprayer from tractor supply, & a buffalo turbine blower. I only wish for a cab with heat & AC but it simply won't happen. the only thing they could change is the outriggers, they're a little too short. Since I have the 2" spacers on the wheels, the outriggers only take the weight of the axles, well they might widen the stance 6" more inches but that about it. Performance wise, I don't even mind the emissions crap because the M62 makes up for the hassle with its abilities, & even then I understand the Canada diesel shops can get around the emissions, if that's your thing....

Oh & nope I haven't had any issues, kinda feel like I wasted my money buying the service manual because I haven't needed it yet... the backhoe has got to be the claim to fame with it. I can put the 12" trenching bucket on & dig to china if I wanted to. I live in Arkansas, you won't see any videos demonstrating a tractor in Arkansas because the ground around hear is miserable. The M62 can cope with all the quartz, shale, clay, & hardwoods. I'd post some pictures but they all post upside down...
