Read articles →An owner's casual 50-hour check-in filmed on his property, not a structured review. He covers why he bought new (zero-percent financing), quick-attach loader, pallet forks, R4 tire choice and ballast reasoning, hydrostatic noise, the awkward right-side step, easy paint scratching, and dealer price shopping that saved him $1,200. Depth is conversational and anecdotal rather than technical. Best for first-time buyers weighing similar purchase decisions.
An owner-operator sharing candid early impressions from personal use on his own property, with no apparent dealership or brand affiliation evident from the transcript.

Yes, he is happy with them. They spread out tracks better than R1s on steep, wet ground, hold more weight for loader work, and he has not had traction issues mowing.
About three or four minutes, taking his time to set it up right, rather than rushing and risking damage or injury like a 30-second removal might cause.
Yes, the owner says the paint scratches very easily and he applied vinyl protectant film on the fenders, fender wells, and hood to protect high wear areas.
