Let me chime in here with yet another rant about the 574. In my opinion, excellent loader and utility tractor, very maneuverable, left hand control on the shuttle shift, and easy to get on and off. Hottest thing this side of an oven if you use it for extended operation in haying or tillage in hot weather, worse if you have a loader on it, worst if it is the gas model. Before you buy one make sure that the parking brake works, or figure on a two day thrash to replace it, and get the remains out of the hydraulic system. Once the parking brake works, get a strobe light about the size of a lighthouse, and hook it up to the parking brake indicator. The brake holds the tractor from rolling quite nicely, but it can be overpowered by putting tractor in gear and taking off. After a few incidents of this the $200 brake band will disintegrate and distribute itself throughout the transmission and hydraulic system, eventually plugging the filters, or something more expensive. The service brakes will do this also, but they will last a long time before it happens. On the particular tractor I am familiar with, both front spindles have been replaced, but I am sure that is from operator abuse/accident. It was previously owned by a young man who loaned it out indiscriminately among his friends and casual acquaintances. This, in itself, indicates that except for the parking brake problem, it is a relatively tough and trouble free machine.
