Overview

This is a genuine long-term owner update, not a first-look review: five years and roughly 300 hours on a Workmaster 40 used mainly for grading gravel roads. He covers real ownership specifics, a persistently floppy loader bucket he's never resolved (dealer blamed valving), front differential metal shavings found during DIY service, annual maintenance routine, tire choice (industrial vs. turf), and whether he'd buy again. Best for buyers wanting durability and long-term reliability feedback, not spec walkarounds.

Appears to be an owner-operator on the 4-LOW channel sharing firsthand, unsponsored impressions from years of actual use.
