I don't know how many hours, it has a loader, but no cab and the rear tires are almost junk. I remember disking with it and it worked good with the over/direct/under on the trans and with the FWA locked in really pulled a 14' IH 37 disc. [Reply]   [No Email]

I do not regret purchasing mine. I only have 2WD and have since added a loader. Now I have to admit that I haven't done much field work with it yet. Only hay and it pulls my balers and haybines really nice and I love the over under for changing hay conditions. Makes for a nice bale since you can keep the feed consistent. My father in law did use it to pull my 3241 3-14 plow and a 6' disk but I can't say how that was much of a test :) [Reply]  [No Email]
