Covers comfort and ergonomics for larger operators, fuel consumption (10-11 hours per tank), RPM preferences, tire ballasting, and a brief parking-lot grading job. Light on specs but honest about minor gripes like brake-lever placement. Best for buyers wanting a candid early ownership impression rather than a spec-sheet walkthrough.
Posted by the Highland Off Grid channel, whose owner appears to be an everyday user documenting life at a rental and off-grid property, no dealership affiliation is evident.
The owner, who is 225 pounds, finds it very comfortable with a good seat, good cabin ergonomics, and a joystick that falls easily to hand.
The owner gets 10 to 11 hours per tank, and a five gallon fuel tank pretty much fills it up.
It likes to run at about 2500 RPM and sometimes higher when trying to make speed, even though lower RPM is possible for some work.
The brake lever placement is a gripe, the owner wishes it were on the other side so the brake and hydrostatic controls could be used together.
