I love mine! I bought it with 135 hours on it, and I'm around 230 now. No major issues. The biggest thing was a leak in a return hydraulic pipe under the tractor it looked like the previous owner welded in place instead of taking it off. I took it off, dad carried it to work and ground off the weld and brazed it, and good as gold.
Dad also borrowed it one time and left it out in the weather (read lots of rain), and the detent valve on the loader valve got water in it and wouldn't stick, or float the bucket. Pulled it off, cleaned it out, added some fresh Grease, and boom, done.
Other than that, it's just been check the oil, climb on and fire it up. It really surprised me how stout it is. It's a little light compared to dad's 83 kubota L340, so 4 wd has come in handy pulling a disk and box blade. Runs a 5 ft Howse rotary cutter up hill no problems.
Pros:
Stout pulling and loader
Very few electronics/computers
Tier 3 emissions - no regen
Same parts and manuals as new Holland workmaster 40, so parts are easy to come by (exception: loader)
Plenty of room in operator station
Cons:
No bells and whistles (I ordered a cup holder this week...)
Diesel tank location - on the back, basically have to kneel in seat backwards with can to fuel up. For me at 28, no big deal. Dad at 54? Little bigger deal.
Light when pulling, 4 wd required.
Hope this helps! Again, for the money (I paid $12.5k for mine in 2018 with 135 hours), this is an excellent machine! I've spread top soil with the loader, gravel with a box blade, moved brush with a grapple, and bushhogged 3 acres with a 5 ft cutter.
