The owner explains why he chose open-station over cab (price, sawmill access, building clearance), covers the grapple, bush hog, land plane, hydraulic top link, and third-function setup, and touches on tire ballasting, accessibility of service points, and hydrostatic operation. Best for anyone cross-shopping the T574 specifically for wooded homestead use.
An owner-operator sharing first impressions from his own 67-acre Virginia homestead, with no apparent commercial affiliation beyond mentioning the dealer who sold him the tractor.
Price was about $6,000 less, he has a sawmill and woods making getting in and out easier, and the cab height would not fit in his building with the roll cage up.
About 10 hours, so it is still a fairly new tractor at the time of the review.
The owner says it is the right size, not too small or too big, and ideal for homestead, farmstead, or land management work, especially if you need good lift capacity.
No, it does not take differential fluid, and it has an exhaust filter that burns off bad stuff from the diesel in a simple setup.
