Overview
This is a real owner's 200-hour follow-up (not a dealer walkaround), covering actual ownership pain points: recurring engine shutdowns traced to a fuel/water separator, the K-100 additive fix, wrapped hydraulic lines to prevent brush snagging, real lift-capacity math showing the loader couldn't handle wet mulch, tire ballast choices, and price increases over a year. Best for buyers wanting practical long-term reliability details rather than a spec sheet or first drive.
