Read articles →This is a 175-hour, three-year ownership review of a 2017 2032R, not a first-drive or dealer walkaround. The owner covers original goals, attachments purchased (72D mower, 270B backhoe, LED lights), three likes (versatility, attachment availability), three dislikes (no toolbox, limited lift capacity, front axle bolts loosening/falling out), plus what he'd change and how needs evolved managing 150 acres. Best for buyers wanting real long-term reliability and capability tradeoffs, not spec sheets.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on, long-term impressions from working his own property, including candid gripes alongside praise.
