Case IH 235 with 5QA loader
Model Year: 1988
Solidly built Compact Tractor, good clearance. 4' bucket, great lifting capability, more than 500 lbs. Loaded rear tires make balance pretty good. Can be a little tippy if bucket catches on a corner during a lift, similar to other tractors though. No problem dragging a 4' blade or a small trailer FULLY loaded with firewood. Drag a 10' X 2'D Hemlock log uphill from a standing start on a hill, while not lifting bucket due to tipping risk. What can I say the 4WD is awesome, has yet to disappoint. Lifted same log one end at a time on to cradle, right at capacity of loader, so pretty good load. Can take a full load of boulders in the bucket. Could use a tooth bar for better digging. Has float setting for leveling
Pros: Awesome 4wd, Good lifting capability,
Cons: Shuttle shift would be nice, Joystick on loader would be a plus, Funnel need to fill without spilling, most parts available at dealer still
