"This is the smallest tractor I have owned but it is just what I need. I have owned a Ford 4600 and then a MF 362, also an excellent tractor. I can work all day on a single tank of fuel, which is something I could never do with either of the other two I have owned previously owned. I pull a six foot woods rotary cutter, a 7 shank all purpose plow and a disc harrow no problems. I have had no problems at all with performance, reliability or service. It's big enough for maintaining my property and small enough to garden with. This tractor, like every other piece of equipment, is designed to fill a certain market. It is not for pulling a big baler or a 5 bottom plow. Any piece of equipment needs to be matched with your needs. For me, the MF 547 is just right."
