The video mixes live operation footage with a closer walkthrough covering the manual hydraulic controls, visibility challenges, tractor stability concerns on slopes, grease points, and a notably poor PTO connection design that required pliers to engage. Best for anyone seriously considering a boom flail mower for similar terrain.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors, sharing candid impressions from real use on their own property, with a family-casual presentation style.
It is called one of the worst PTO connections encountered. You must pull the whole fitting forward while three small balls inside move together, and the reviewer had to use pliers to hold it open to get it on the shaft.
The reviewer says he would feel more comfortable with a tractor twice as wide and heavy, but would still run it on a 2038R if careful, keeping slope near five degrees since fifteen degrees is uncomfortable and can get the tractor stuck.
There are several grease points at each joint, with grease points at bearings on both ends. The reviewer says it does not look too difficult to maintain.
