Also covers honest cost reflections and whether he'd buy a subcompact again. Best for prospective buyers weighing long-term ownership realities.
An owner-operator sharing candid long-term experience maintaining the tractor at his own home property, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
He never changed the gearbox fluid, and it went past 400 hours when the manual says to change it at 50 hours and every 150 hours after that, causing the seals to fail.
He checked hoses for contact against metal brackets causing vibration damage, and wrapped rubber sheathing around the hoses near the levers to help protect them from busting.
A year earlier he would have said no and gone with a garden tractor, but he changed his mind because of the bucket and backhoe capabilities, though he sometimes wishes for a bigger tractor.
