He narrates what the tractor handled easily, where ballast limitations became the constraint rather than raw lifting power, and how the hydraulic controls felt with minimal seat time. Best for prospective buyers focused specifically on loader capacity.
An owner-operator on a hobby homestead sharing first-week impressions of a tractor he just purchased, with no evident dealership or brand affiliation, though he does mention receiving a free Artisan toolbar accessory.
It easily lifted five stacked logs and two fully loaded firewood totes to max height without the rear tires lifting, even with tires not yet fluid-filled.
It moved a 2,300-pound log up a 20% grade, but the back end wanted to lift off the ground until extra ballast was added to the box blade.
The owner states it is not a matter of lifting power but having the right ballast to get the job done.
