The presenter compares it directly to his M6101, covering rear ballast, Nokian tires, the 92-inch inverted blower, added LED lighting, cab controls, the manual transmission and clutch/hand-clutch setup, regen process, and driving/shifting behavior in the lot. Best for buyers weighing this chassis specifically for snow work who want an operator's practical pros and cons.
Posted by an owner-operator running these tractors commercially for snow removal, sharing hands-on fleet impressions rather than a sales pitch.
It has similar horsepower and can do driveways in the same time, sits lower to the ground so it hits fewer trees, and has a quicker road speed than the M6.
You tap the regen button, rev the engine to about 2200 RPM, which is the lowest RPM it will regen at, then let it sit for about 20 minutes.
The presenter says shifting gears is not that complicated, but operators burn through clutches often, and only he and two others on his crew can run it well.
Yes, pushing it in lets you avoid using the regular clutch, but the operator says he never uses it since he is trained on standard clutches.
