Overview
A sit-down Q&A between Mike and a former dealership service manager, focused on what actually kills compact tractors owned by part-time hobby farmers. Covers diesel fuel cleanliness, oil change schedules, water intrusion in hydraulic systems, overworking undersized machines, and, notably, how to read and track warranty coverage before it expires. Light on specs but practical in tone; most useful for first-time rural property owners.
