I have had mine since 2005 and it has done moree work than it was meant to do fron discing my hay fields with an 8 foot tandem to cutting raking and baling with a jd 214t baler. Also has cleared brush from a 14 acre field. I would not get the hst again though. Been grewt b6t gear would be better for me now. Ive also loaded a 3x4 foot granite boulder by putting it in 4 low and pushing it up the ramp. Not a chance in china would it lift it but pushed it fine
