Best for buyers wanting real long-term ownership feedback, not a walkaround.
Posted by an owner-operator (Wayne) sharing hands-on impressions and maintenance from his own tractor on his Louisiana property.
The tractor alone weighs 4,300 lb, with the loader it is 5,300 lb, and loading the rear tires with water adds another 1,000 lb for a total of 6,300 lb.
He installed a WR Long third function system himself instead of the factory diverter valve, so he did not sacrifice curl and dump modes on the joystick.
He had a minor oil leak from loose Allen plugs on the hydraulic block, caused by his own installation, plus gripes about the air filter screen and radiator spacing.
Yes, he says he would buy it again and recommends it to anyone for its ability to do the work, ruggedness, and performance.
