Overview
A recent owner's first-impression walkaround after about 20 hours of use, with one concrete data point: he paid roughly $55,000. He walks through specific likes and dislikes, the flexible hitch hookup, no DEF/regen emissions system, loader quick-attach, cab ergonomics, economy PTO, and automatic 4WD braking, plus minor gripes like the dipstick visibility and unsupported muffler. Best for shoppers weighing this model who want a candid owner take rather than a dealer pitch.
An owner-operator sharing first impressions from his own property after purchasing the tractor himself, so the perspective is personal and experience-based rather than commercial.
