Overview
A near-100-hour real-use recap from someone who ran this cab tractor through a full winter on a 140-acre cattle operation, feeding 110 round bales, using a grapple bucket, and letting a novice driver log hours. Covers specific gripes (no interior grab handle, awkward reverse pedal, hydrostat noise) alongside genuine positives. Useful for buyers weighing the 5045's cab and hydrostatic setup for small livestock operations.
Posted by the Ozark Trailer MFG & Sales channel, which appears to sell tractors and added the grapple/third-function kit to this demo unit, so expect a generally favorable but not purely objective perspective.
