Covers real-world attachment choices (grapple bucket, box blade, bush hog, mid-mount mower), an approximate out-the-door price near $23,000 with attachments, a candid stability warning with a near-tip story, and honest second-guessing on the mid-mount mower. Best for small-acreage buyers weighing this model's practicality and limits.
Posted by the Blake Echols channel, an owner using the tractor for both a landscaping business and a hobby farm, so the perspective is hands-on but not neutral in the way an independent reviewer's might be.

The grapple bucket is called the best option for moving brush and hay. Pallet forks and a ball hitch are also recommended, though the mid-mount mower is only worth it if it is your only mower.
The owner paid around $23,000 out the door with all attachments and the third function valve included, including taxes.
Yes, the owner says a half-ton truck can tow it, and even something like a Tacoma could work if you only move it occasionally.
