He covers real long-term use: feeding cows with hay bales, snowblowing the driveway, wear issues (bent tie rod, damaged grill, hydraulic hose leak, worn floor mat), and a candid comparison to Coyote tractors on lift capacity (about 1,200 lb front) and PTO horsepower (24 hp). Best for buyers weighing whether a 2032R has enough power for heavier homestead attachments.
An owner-operator on his own homestead sharing hands-on, warts-and-all impressions after five years of daily use, including an openly self-critical comparison to a competing brand.
It lifts most hay bales but struggles with really heavy wet wrapped bales due to extra moisture weight, while dry straw bales are no problem.
A slightly bent tie rod, a damaged front grill from pushing trees, a hydraulic hose leak on the snowblower, and a worn rubber floor mat.
The 2032R lifts about 1,200 lb front and has 24 horsepower PTO, while a comparably priced next-level Coyote could lift 2,400 lb and offer 30 to 32 horsepower PTO.
Yes, he says he would buy it again and has no major complaints, but he would shop around more and seriously consider Coyote and other brands first.
