He covers real ownership history: a $800 SUV remote/float-lever repair, a failed air shock on the steering column, minor fluid leaks, cab size gripes, and a detailed comparison of the M series versus the E series frame design, transmission, and electric three-point. Good for buyers weighing M vs E or wanting long-haul reliability feedback.
Posted by an owner running this tractor on his own operation, so the take is hands-on and unfiltered rather than a dealer pitch.
SUV remotes needed a rebuild, a lift cylinder on the three point started leaking, the steering column air shock failed, and there is a minor transmission fluid leak.
The M has a half frame that cradles the engine and bolts to the transmission, making it heavier built, while the E series has no frame and bolts the engine directly to the front and rear ends, putting more stress on components.
Yes, you can set the height and use a button to raise or lower it, with separate controls for how high it lifts and how fast it falls, which the owner says is great for mowing.
It is comfortable but smaller than the 6000 series, the AC controls use two separate knobs which the owner dislikes, and the visor quality was cut back.
