"I bought the tractor and 2250 loader as a unit from a local dealer who had it on consignment. It turned out to be a lot rougher than I originally thought. The front end, steering, rear frame mounting castings had been broken and somewhat repaired. The clutch was bad, at end of adjustment and had to be replaced later. I did not pay enough attention to the condition of the tractor when buying, more to the statements of the salesman. Oops. Performance has been good, excellent engine and good capabilities. Due to multiple knee surgeries on left knee, I have to get a hydro-static transmission. I had a hydro 70 earlier and for PTO kind of work, it was a very nice tractor."
