Rather than a walkaround, it's a reliability report plus practical add-ons: hydro vs. geared transmission tradeoffs, no cruise control on the hydro E, LED lights, quick hitch fit issues, rim guard vs. wheel weights, and toolbox mods. Best for buyers weighing hydro vs. gear on this model.

Zero issues beyond regular service like oil changes. No warranty calls, starts in under 10 degree weather, and has operated flawlessly the entire time.
If doing a lot of constant speed work like mowing or tillage, choose geared or upgrade to the M version, since the hydro E has no cruise control and requires keeping your foot on the pedal.
Overall it works fine, but it extends the arms about 4 inches and the stock top link is a touch short in some cases, so a longer top link would help.
Rim guard makes it feel safer with a heavy loader load but rides more stiffly. He plans to switch to iron wheel weights on his next tractor instead.
