I have one, I really like the tractor, when its actually running. The engine will respond well to a little extra fuel. However this model is prone to hydraulic problems, especially the steering and the low pressure system. The low pressure system operates the HiLo and PTO and also supplies the main pump. It requires splitting the tractor to repair (often more than once to get it right) I bought mine cheap knowing it had problems. Couple of thousand later in parts and its good. I did the work myself or the labor cost would have killed me. Invest in a tech manual if you get it. So theres the good and bad, the choice is yours.
