He walks through specs, controls, loader capacity, PTO setup, and three specific gripes: awkward parking brake placement, faded paint and gauges, and a painfully slow-filling six-gallon fuel tank. Best for budget-conscious small-acreage shoppers weighing Bad Boy against name-brand competitors.
An owner-operator sharing early impressions from personal use, with no apparent dealership or brand affiliation evident in the material.
He paid $18,500 for the 3026H, while a same-horsepower John Deere quoted at $33,000 and a Kubota at about $30,000, both bare tractors.
Parking brake placement is annoying and easy to bump with a boot, the gauge cluster and paint have faded, and the six-gallon fuel tank fills extremely slowly.
The loader is rated for about 1,300 pounds at the pin, but it gets a little tippy without any counterweight on the tractor.
The owner recommends it for anyone wanting an acreage tractor who does not need a green brand, saying it does everything needed for home use, not commercial farming.
