✦
Overview
An owner's honest 50-hour field report after daily use on real tasks, moving round bales, bush hogging, and grading gravel. Covers specific gripes (RPM chatter around 1,600, slow loader tilt, narrow three-point arms, bucket hookup difficulty), compares the tractor directly to his prior New Holland Workmaster 50 and briefly to Kubota's HST option, and closes with an 85% overall grade. Best for serious buyers weighing this exact model.
An owner-operator sharing candid hands-on impressions from what appears to be a working rural property, with no apparent dealer or brand affiliation.
