He covers ballast decisions (water vs. Rimguard with real weights), a hood latch failure at 10 hours, bucket removal, ROPS mounting concerns, tight cab ergonomics for larger riders, hydraulic behavior quirks, drawbar category, PTO, and what came in the box. Best for shoppers weighing the Solis 24 who want honest early-ownership gripes alongside the positives.
