Covers real-world cab fit for a 5'10" frame, the shuttle-vs-hydrostatic trade-off, attachment use (bush hog, box blade, post-hole digger, forks, tooth bar), loader capacity with gravel, and the purchase price around $12,300, $12,500. Best for budget shoppers comparing the Solis 24 against better-known brands.
Posted by the jamiephillips123 channel, which appears to be a private owner sharing personal experience with no evident commercial affiliation.
The shuttle drive works well and gives a bit better pull and power since it is gear driven, and may be less likely to burn out than a hydrostatic.
The cabin is a little tight. It fits a 5'10", 170-pound person well, but a bigger person may have issues, as other reviews mentioned.
It fills the bucket full of gravel with no problem, and has been used with a bush hog, box blade, post-hole digger, forks, and a tooth bar.
It was priced around $12,300 to $12,500 and has had no issues after 87 hours, making it a great tractor for the money.
