Greg covers two real-world issues (failed tach, gelled fuel), oil condition at 130 hours, loader lift capacity with bale forks, fuel consumption figures (roughly 2 liters/hour), quick-attach bucket removal, skid-steer attachment compatibility, and ergonomics of the controls. It's conversational and hands-on rather than spec-sheet deep, best suited to prospective buyers wanting honest long-term impressions over a first-look walkaround.
An owner-operator sharing firsthand impressions from their own small homestead farm, with no apparent commercial or dealer affiliation.
About two liters an hour when working, so roughly 20 liters during a good 10-hour workout.
Only two glitches: the tach on the dash quit working, and the owner accidentally put summer fuel in during cold weather causing it to gel.
The owner lifts 1,100 to 1,200 pounds of bale with the loader using forks, but recommends rear wheel ballast or counterweight for stability.
Yes, any skid steer attachment will go on, though hydraulic flow may not be enough for equipment like sweepers without an added pump and tank system.
