I took delivery of a 5525 about four weeks ago. This tractor is to replace an aging AC D-15 ser.II. So far its been great. The only problem I've got with it is the hour meter is registering one hour every ten minutes of real time! The 250 loader is a bit heavier but otherwise comparable to the AC 400 loader in construction. The bucket at 6' is a little smaller than I'm used to and quick attach will be a new experience for me.

Man 1 hour for every 10 minutes, thats a little off. How does the transmission shift? I am curious about this 'partial constant mesh'. How partial is it?

Unless you are an old hand, you need to stop the tractor to shift gears: this is not a synchronized transmission. Partial constant mesh seems to mean that some of the gears are sliding gear shift where you move the gear itself and some are constant mesh-collar shift where the gears are always meshed and spinning freely on the shaft unless engaged by the collar which is splined to the shaft. The transmission on the 5525 shifts clean and easy. I think the collar shift gears have a slightly shorter throw.
