Read articles →This is a genuine long-term owner review, not a dealer walkaround: three years and 1,200+ hours in, covering real-world use as a loader tractor with grapple, forks, sweeper bucket, and hay equipment. It gets specific on pros/cons, hydrostatic ease, roughly 2,000 lb lift capacity, 8-gallon tank giving ~4 hours field work, a weak seat, and an AC condenser that clogs in dusty conditions. Best for buyers wanting candid long-term reliability and attachment feedback over spec sheets.
Posted by an owner-operator (Straight up guy things) sharing hands-on impressions from years of actual use on his own property and job sites.
With a set of pallet forks you can expect to pick up about 2,000 pounds if the load is close to the pivot point on the bottom of the forks.
It holds about eight gallons, and if you are working the tractor hard in the field, about four hours is all you will get out of a tank of fuel.
The seat is terrible, with a suspension rod breaking twice; the owner ordered an air ride seat to replace it.
The AC is good but not great. The condenser gets stopped up easily during hot, dusty work like bushhogging or baling hay.
