Covers front tire size, the LS engine transition post-2017, low-mounted fuel tank placement, rear remotes, three-point hitch controls, transmission range/gear feel, and a live loader test with an estimated 1,800-lb live oak log. Best for buyers cross-shopping the XR4145 against comparable-sized tractors.
An owner-operator comparing this tractor against machines he personally owns and has used, so expect candid peer impressions rather than a sales pitch.
It is comparable in size, with the main difference being much larger front tires on the XR4145, giving more ground clearance and traction.
Yes, fueling is down low on the tractor, which the reviewer says is nicer than previous tractors where fueling was on top and prone to spills.
The reviewer tested it lifting an estimated 1800-pound live oak log to max height with no problem using homemade non-movable forks.
It engages through a simple rod and shaft mechanism near the oil pan, with no electronics involved, similar to the Massey Ferguson 2705E.
