Deere 5525-opinions wanted

[pharmvet]

I’m looking at an open station 4WD Deere 5525 with loader. What is the general opinion of the 5525 model? Any particular drawbacks? Is there another Deere model in the same approximate physical size and HP range that is a better option?

Here is a video of a guy trading his off after having it for 10 years. Doesn't indicate any problems with it.

I have the 5225 version. maybe different engine 5cyl. little over 1000hrs. only problem is that it shuts off random but if i react fast enough, i push the clutch and turn key off on real quick. does not happen often.
