He covers the LA526 loader, skid-steer quick connects, LED lights, turn signals, 4WD/diff-lock switches, suspension seat, and the pedal-based forward/reverse he's still adjusting to, plus brief regen and PTO comments. Good for buyers wanting a real owner's early likes/dislikes rather than technical depth or extended fieldwork.
Posted by Decker Deals, an individual owner sharing personal, informal impressions shortly after buying the tractor.
He dislikes the pedal setup for forward and reverse, where you press forward and use your heel for reverse, unlike his old John Deere's two separate pedals.
He used the rear PTO with a 6-foot bush hog and said it did an amazing job, noting the tractor has so much power.
Yes, pulling up activates four-wheel drive, and pushing another control down engages the rear differential lockers for pulling power.
The tractor had 6.6 hours on it at the time of this first-impressions walkaround.
