The owner specifically sought out a non-industry perspective and delivers one, pointing out the 8-speed gear transmission choice over hydrostatic, R1 tires with fluid ballast, the low hood for easy fueling, the 5-year powertrain warranty, a Woods BSS 60P box blade purchase, and candid frustration with dealer service including a dented hood. No operating time yet; follow-up videos promised.
An owner-operator sharing unfiltered first impressions on delivery day, with no apparent industry ties and openly critical of their buying experience.
He opted out of hydrostatic for a multitude of reasons, noting the 8-speed has a low and high band with four speeds each, though hydrostatic models have full warranty coverage including the clutch.
It has R1 tires loaded with fluid for additional ballast, chosen because industrial tires lack the traction needed for the muddy conditions he works in.
Five years, though the clutch is not covered since it is considered a wear item.
A Woods BSS 60P, described as heavy with about half inch steel, bought used from the dealer's shop with some scratches but a still-new blade.
