He walks the machine front to back calling out specific gripes, undersized bucket, thin metal, oddball 6-ply front tires, awkward PTO guard, rear-arm design cheapouts, then praises loader smoothness, power, and tight turning radius. Best for buyers wanting a candid critical perspective rather than a sales pitch.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own Central Texas property, with no commercial affiliation evident, though opinions are strongly held and plainly labeled as personal.
With a 6-foot bush hog it mowed the whole yard including waist-high Johnson grass and did not bog down, showing plenty of power for its 39 horsepower size.
The bucket is undersized with thin metal, front tires are an oddball 6-ply size, there is no front axle guard, and the PTO guard is hard to work with.
He says probably, though he feels he needed a bigger tractor like 55 horsepower with a cab, and wants to see how it holds up long term.
The loader has more lift capacity and breakout capacity than his previous New Holland, though it does not have quite the same reach.
