Yes, they're well made tractors, but they break the same as anything else when they're made to work.
They don't fit what I do, and probably most of your market because they lack a lot of weight to keep mounted impliments under control.
If I believed their theory to be true I could slap a 105 hp 268T engine in my 3930, add more rubber and a little assist ram to the lift arms and I'd about have the guts of that tractor....
Alas, it doesn't work, and when they're worked like that, they break too.
Used as a light utility, they last quite well.
There's a few guys around here buying them now because they're cheap. They've found out that clutches don't majically last longer with orange paint. Neither do front axles.... or brakes.
They're just a tractor as far as I'm concerned. No better, no worse.
