RR Valley, ND; MN native | Dad's neighbor had one in the 80s that motivated Dad to buy one in '89. There was a dealer in the area but dad ordered his from the importer and it arrived on the farm on a truck from Milwaukee as I recall. 50-60hp size with a cab/heater. MFWD. It got used for some lite tillage, cultivator, feed grinder, etc. Dad kept it after retirement and used for bush mower and snow blower. I wish it did have a loader but part of me is glad it does not. The maneuverablity is poor enough as it is. Wide steering angle and its slow.
I've now ended up with it and its still on the farm. I have not had it running this year as its got some issue with I think the governor sticking in the injector pump. Right now, said pump is in a tote in my garage at home to check out over the winter.
Its crude for sure. My dad was always the sort who would look at price first, features 2nd, then move onto quality and design. A legacy of his upbringing as a boy in the depression. I've done way too much work on it the past 14yrs since Dad passed and its not even running now! | |
