Overview

An owner's first-look walkaround after trading in a smaller tractor for the 4052R, with context on why the cab height forced a shed redesign. Larry covers the 440R loader with grapple, 45A backhoe controls, cab interior (joystick, climate, hydrostatic speeds), rim extensions, and briefly drives to the sawmill to move a log. Best for buyers curious about the cab-equipped 4052R from a real-farm perspective, though it's a casual intro rather than a deep performance evaluation.

An owner-operator sharing first impressions of a newly purchased tractor on what appears to be a working farm with a sawmill.
