Good Tractor Overall And Very Good Value
Model Year: 2012
I've had this tractor for 5 years now and have used it in various capacities such as cutting brush, loader work, box blade, loading forks, etc. Mechanically it's a very good machine, I have the basic tractor with mechanical shuttle shift and clutch, no hydrostatic. The problems I've had are with the key switch (failed 3 times) and the starter solenoid. I've finally repaired the key switch myself and sealed it up to keep it from oxidizing and failing again (hopefully). Overall, the tractor starts and runs great. Lift capacity is great and overall power is very good. I think if they redesigned the key switches, I wouldn't have had a single complaint about this machine.
Pros: Great tractor for the price, with good overall engineering and quality
Cons: A few minor gripes about engineering and quality components
