He walks through specific positives, loader lifting strength, Mitsubishi engine reliability, overall size-for-horsepower value, then gets into concrete failures: a bent tie rod he had to reinforce, blown hydraulic lines, thin sheet metal, and a differential lock that's hard to engage and won't disengage. Closes with a clear buyer framework: fine for weekend warriors, not for heavy daily work.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from running the tractor across a 90-acre hobby farm and timber property.
He hasn't lifted round bales but lifted 1100 plus pounds with a safe and heavy pallet forks with ease, so he feels confident it could handle 1200 pound round bales.
A tie rod bent easily and needed reinforcement, several hydraulic lines have blown, hoses hang low and rub or pinch near the backhoe attachment, and the hood metal is thin and dents easily.
No. He says it is fine for a weekend warrior doing occasional bush hogging and hay feeding, but not right for heavy daily use on a large property like his 90 acre timber plantation.
It is very hard to engage, requiring you to stand on the pedal, and once engaged it does not release easily, which he says wears out the differential and risks spider gear damage.
