Got 55 hrs on tractor, after changing oil and filter at recommended 50 hr change, I decided to give my initial thoughts on tractor and tires. First the tires, love em, plenty of traction even in mud, I bought a hd one shank subsoiler and I mean heavy duty and no problem with slippage. The tires leave very little marks when I use my 8 ft grooming mower. I got a 7 ft woods bx840x rated for up to 120 hp tractor and cuts up to 3 in stuff and it is heavy. I mowed one area where the right side of tractor slid into a small ditch and the tires started to spin even with the mower raised it still touched the ground. I hit reverse and backed out without spinning the tires, that痴 when I knew those tires where for me. One other thing, I live 7 miles from town and needed to take it church to work on the back lot, instead of loading it on my trailer, I decided to drive it. The ride was smooth and quiet and fast. 5th and 6th gears are very fast. Love the tractor and would definitely buy again. The only negatives, and they are minor, the pto switch on the fender is located in a bad place. My right alarm accidently hits and cuts it off. The other thing is the pto shield has to come off when use my box blade because the top link comes into contac with it. But as I already said, I am overall very pleased with my purchase. Bill
