Yes, 12 x 12 tranny
Pros : It has done everything I needed it for. Post holes, manure handling/spreading, removing a hill from side of house and filling in a pond with the dirt, pushing over small trees (up to 8") , dragging logs for firewood. the tractor starts every day and the company & dealer back their product.
Cons : Some think it is a "Minor" brand, don't know about resale because I don't intend to sell, I have a habit of keeping things forever. but if the tractor new starts out 2-3 thousand cheaper than the big three then the used price should be slightly cheaper.
I have 435 hrs, its turning two in Jan. 05 with the warranty
up and I do not fear this because it is a quality tractor.
Like 95% tractors sold today, major parts or whole tractor are Foreign made ( That includes John Deere)
