"Was concerned about buying it as it is not one of the popular "Green & yellow" or "Blue" tractors that are most common here. NO REGRETS!! The only issue I have had with it is the paint! I push this little tractor to its limits (8' rotary hay mower, 6' bush hog, etc etc) and it never ceases to amaze me. The A/C is a little weak as there is a lot of glass area in the cab so it heats up quickly during the hot summer months. Would I buy another... absolutely!! Did I mention it was 10000.00 less expensive than the other two?? Thats a lot of fuel!"

"This is a great machine in any price range. I have pushed this tractor and the only limits I have found are my own. Heavy Heavy construction cast Iron axle housings stout frame and thick thick loader mount plates. Plenty of power 43 H.P. Cat diesel. It is advertised as the Perkins 404 diesel but Caterpillar bought Perkins years ago. It's the Cat 2.2 engine with a Perkins name plate all the filters interchange and all the filters on this tractor can be bought at NAPA. Except for the transmission filter. Which is awesome no worries about filter supplies or waiting for parts from Asia. Most of the hours on this machine are brush hogging and stump pulling with the backhoe. I have average experience with equipment driving small TLB's from Kubota all terrain forklifts and skid steers and I must say there are no disappointments. This spring I will adjust the "fast dump " or Regen on the loader control valve. The speed is a little slow for my liking. Pretty sure the setting from the factory was never adjusted properly. This machine has done everything I have asked. I would recommend tire chains if you get the industrial R4 tires. If you intend to use for logging in heavy mud or if used for snow removal. We get tons of snow and ice storms up hear even with loaded tires she spins easily."
