Read articles →This is an early-ownership overview at 5.3-5.4 hours in, not a deep long-term review. The owner walks through controls in detail: pedals, differential lock, three-point hitch and top link adjustment, PTO engagement showing RPM readout, 2WD/4WD switching, and the seat safety cutoff. He also compares it candidly to his older Ford 1200 and shares buying regrets. Best for total beginners wanting a controls walkthrough, not for attachment performance or capability testing.
