He paid $25,000 for a 2018 model and covers practical fit for small farms, attachment use (bale spear, forks, rototiller), shuttle-shift vs. hydrostatic preference, and two specific issues, alternator excitation at low RPM and a finicky seat-safety switch. Best for homesteaders sizing up the Workmaster 60 for similar mixed-use work.
Posted by the Scott Bartholomew channel, no channel description is provided, but the content presents him as a private owner sharing hands-on impressions from his own small grazing operation.
The owner calls it the perfect homesteading tractor, too small for big farmers but too big for hobby farmers, ideal for his fifty-acre grazing operation.
The alternator wouldn't excite until revved to about 2000 RPM, and the seat-safety switch can shut the tractor off if there isn't enough weight on the seat, which the dealer couldn't fix.
The owner had a hydrostatic Kubota before and says the shuttle shift works better for the amount of field work he does on the Workmaster 60.
