1 hour east of ol cheyenne | Coupler behind engine went to crap on mine at less than 1900 hrs. When it failed no hydraulics and no movement s**t the bed rolling along bailing straw at about 1700 rpm with a light load. Tractor has not been worked hard its whole life. Other than that as others have said. Good loader tractor but it is what it is. Shuttle shift makes it handy to run on the round baler. AC is marginal condenser and cab filter must be kept clean! 3 cylinder is low on torque below 1500 until the turbo kicks in then it is ok.
Biggest gripe I have with it is theDumbbass that designed the dipstick and oil fill hole for the engine needs their head examined when you have a loader on it it SUCKS! To bevels the oil fill hole in the block down behind alternator just frigging begs for dirt to get in the engine unless you brake clean and blow that ledge off real good before adding oil. Take a power wire wheel to the engine dipstick and remove the black crap in the operating zone as some braindead engineer coated them with black paint from the factory and trying to read it can be next to impossible.
The windshield wiper cannot be parked in any position other than horizontal thus allowing it to freeze to the windshield in the wintertime.
Shuttle switch can sometimes not engage going into forward. Hokey electrical switch with no adjustment like the older ones, it is a sealed unit. No float on the hydraulics ( I added a third to get the float function.
1900 hrs of use as honest as I can be and all I can think of. 3 point controls work real good I use a blade and the electric controls are real handy.
All in all not a bad tractor for the $$.
