Will answers specific questions he couldn't find elsewhere: throttle-vs-speed behavior, hood release location, backhoe float function, and an honest callout of the awkward rotating seat. Best for first-time buyers weighing whether this 24hp compact can handle genuine homestead tasks.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own homestead, with no evident dealer or brand affiliation.
No. The throttle idles the engine up for attachments like a brush hog or tiller without changing the tractor's travel speed.
The transcript shows the hood release location on the tractor but notes it was hard to find information on elsewhere; the video points it out directly.
It dug 300 feet of water line trenches in hard clay, removed stumps, ran a rock breaker, covered trenches, and cleaned up a goat pen and garden.
The rotating seat is a nightmare to use, can smack the armrest, and risks smashing your fingers when it comes down.
