Read articles →An owner who has logged roughly 500 hours on this tractor in real field work cuts straight to what the specs pages won't tell you: a transmission that can lock you out of third gear on the road, an AC line that blew at 100 hours, a faulty weight sensor under the seat and his fix for it, hydraulic pump noise to listen for before buying, buddy-seat ergonomic issues, and genuine praise for the auto-throttle and cab size. Best for serious buyers weighing the Workmaster 105 against alternatives.
An owner-operator sharing candid hands-on impressions from their own farming operation, with no apparent dealer or brand affiliation.
Shifting from second to third can cause it to stick so you can't move the lever. You must crawl under the tractor, turn it off, take it out of gear, and push a linkage forward to free it.
At about 100 hours the AC hard line blew and sprayed Freon through the cab, a design defect per the mechanic. The seat weight sensor also failed and had to be replaced.
Access it under the seat cushion through two quarter-turn screws. After it failed again, the owner put an eighth-inch piece of plywood under the sensor to stop it from wearing a hole in the padding.
