He covers his specific setup, gear drive vs. HST decision, wheel spacer positioning, fluid-filled AG tires, a swapped 72-inch bucket, Ken's hooks, skid steer quick attach, loader valve feel versus his John Deere, and PTO/shear-pin behavior on the rotary cutter. Best for buyers wanting real-world owner impressions and attachment choices rather than a spec sheet.
Posted by Tractor Talk With Gary, an owner sharing hands-on impressions and customizations from his own tractor rather than a dealer or professional reviewer.
He does a lot of off-camber work in hilly timber and decided the price difference wasn't worth it since he has been grinding gears for over 40 years.
Dumping the clutch immediately kills power to the PTO, which helps avoid shearing pins, unlike his John Deere 520 which sheared pins multiple times daily.
Gary says the loader valves are unbelievably smooth and fluid, easier to get into corner positions than his Western Dwarf loader on a John Deere 2520.
A 72-inch bucket swapped from the standard 60-inch, Ken's bolt-on hooks, a skid steer quick attach, and a Land Pride BB1560 box blade with a quick hitch.
