Overview
An owner's honest 50-hour report after six months of real loader and grapple work, no three-point or PTO use, so that's out of scope. Covers fuel economy with actual runtime examples, seat comfort, bent bucket and grapple tines from pushing oversized loads, exhaust-direction complaints, tip-over awareness, and the proprietary pin attachment system. Best for buyers focused on loader-only use who want unfiltered feedback including the owner's own mistakes.
