Posted by owner-operator Gearhead Tom sharing firsthand impressions from using the tractor on his own wooded property.
The owner has had the tractor for two years and about 175 hours, giving a long-term ownership review rather than a dealer walkaround.
Yes, the owner recommends getting it right away from the dealership along with skid steer style couplers, so you can run a grapple later even if you do not buy one immediately.
The loader level indicator broke when a tree branch ripped it off, the hood got dented pulling a stump with the grapple, and a tire picked up multiple plugs from debris.
Yes, despite being intimidating in size and about 800 pounds, the owner says it is far from too much for the tractor and loves using it.
