He covers why he chose 4WD/hydrostatic and industrial tires, real-world use lifting logs and hay rolls, the non-quick-attach loader bucket, added pallet forks, and a Harbor Freight quick-attach drawbar. It's a short, casual personal-use overview rather than a detailed specs or performance test.
Posted by an acreage owner (Patriotic Rottweiler channel) sharing personal, hands-on impressions from over a decade of using this tractor on his own property.
It has about 450 hours as of November 2018. It's used as a general all-around tractor for lifting logs, telephone poles, a generator, and hay rolls.
Yes, the owner recommends full drive and hydrostatic, saying even if you don't use it all the time, there will definitely be a spot where you need it.
No, the bucket is not quick detach, though the loader arms themselves can quick detach, which the owner has done before but not normally.
He drives the tractor on the road to places like church, so industrial tires avoid putting ag tires on pavement; he switches to two-wheel drive on pavement.
