Covers specific lift capacity numbers for the upcoming mechanical self-leveling loader upgrade, walks through controls and ergonomics in detail, and gives an honest list of complaints including the three-point lever, rear backup shutoff, and missing 60-inch load-and-go bracket support. Best for buyers seriously comparing compact tractors.
An owner-operator channel that documents daily equipment use across multiple working operations, so the perspective reflects genuine heavy personal use rather than a dealership pitch.
At an inch off the ground it currently lifts about 1,700 pounds. With the new self-leveling loader it will lift 1,850 pounds at ground level and over 1,300 pounds at seven feet height.
The three-point lever stop is not well designed for consistent height, the rear backup shutoff is an annoyance while mowing, and the 60-inch deck lacks load-and-go bracket support.
The PTO horsepower is around 31 or 32, but you need at least 35 to run a small baler, so a bigger tractor is needed for that task.
Lifting a lever applies brake to only one side, which cuts the turning radius in half when making a tight turn.
