Not a buyer's review; most useful to someone being handed the keys to this exact tractor.
Posted by the Duty Family Farm channel, which appears to be a working farm operation sharing practical, task-specific guidance for their own crew rather than a general-audience review channel.
Don't drive more than 5 to 7 miles per hour through the field because some of the fields are rough.
Never have the loader higher than 2 to 3 feet going through the field, and never ride with a bale raised higher than that.
Have your foot on the clutch, forward/reverse and range selector in neutral, and seat belt fastened, then start it. To release the parking brake, push in on the brakes and twist the handle down.
Load the front bale first, then drop the back bale, so the loader is always setting bales in a straight line, keeping the pile even and able to shed water.
