Read articles →An owner sharing seven-plus years of real-use experience on 25 acres, not a dealer pitch or spec rundown. Covers why he bought it, what he paid (roughly $22-23K with attachments, ~18% off list), and honest hands-on impressions of the loader, belly mower, four-foot brush hog, and tiller, including where the tractor struggles with heavy material. Best for buyers weighing whether a subcompact handles smaller acreage work.
An owner-operator channel, so expect personal field impressions rather than dealership polish or technical depth.
The owner calls it a great piece of equipment and highly recommends it for smaller properties, saying it offers versatility and John Deere reliability if used within its size limits.
Not easily. The tractor lacks the weight and horsepower to push into big gravel piles, so loads need to stay low and lighter materials like mulch work better.
The owner reports good luck with it, saying it runs well, has a built-in clutch so no shear pin problems, and fits tight areas better than larger brush hogs.
The owner was unsure at first but is glad he got it, using it mainly for pushing logs and debris and for carrying loads like firewood rather than heavy scooping.
