The owner works through a written list covering real-world use (pallet moving, snow, dirt), power and hydraulics concerns he'd read about before buying, fit-and-finish complaints, non-greasable components, cab size limitations, and two aftermarket additions. Candid and detail-oriented; best for serious buyers researching this specific configuration.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from personal use on their own property, with no commercial or dealership affiliation evident.
Yes, the owner found the 66 horsepower sufficient and never experienced the loader tilt or hydraulic weakness that online reviews had warned about, only running out of hydraulic power under heavy demands.
Body and interior panels are not great quality, a cab roof vent hangs down, there is overspray on components, and the weights are not fully painted and have started rusting.
The owner, who is six feet tall, says the cab is a little small and wishes the seat went back another inch since the loader lockout can hit his knee near the pedals.
The steering cylinder and tie rods have no grease zerks, though the front axle bolt does, which disappointed the owner who prefers fully greasable components.
