The biggest drawback to that tractor is the brakes steering. Almost non extistant after a couple hundred hours. The brakes are the disc expansion kind and are not very dependable. The balls that roll in an incline plane slot tend to make a dent in the incline and then won't continue to roll up the incline unless you stomp that pedal hard as you can and hope for the best.
Also it not a true skid turn either. It does not have any way to disengage the braked wheel so the outer wheel turns twice as fast as it normally would so you have half the pushing power from that outer side wheel. Fast turns no matter what you want.

The only advantage is that you have all wheel power.
