    Haying, earthwork, construction, road maintenance, barn cleaning, mowing, hay baling, firewood cutting, even clearing stumps. Absolutely love this tractor – had it for 8 years now, over 1500 hours and no mechanical issues.

    Year of Manufacture: 2006
    Pros: I love everything about it. I have mowed, raked, and baled small square hay with it. I can unload/move large squares with a custom fork on the loader. Used it as a skidsteer, built my house with – lifting shingles/walls/trusses. I blade and plow my driveway with it, runs great in -20F when you have to get your road cleared. I’ve owned it since 2006, and never regretted the purchase.
    Cons: Had to override the seat sensor. In the winter the seat freezes and it doesn’t know you are sitting on it.
    Attachments: 300x loader, 3pt blade, brush mower, hay fork, hay rake, sickle mower, jd336 small square baler

    Great. love it for the things that it has shortened my time on doing a variety of projects.

    Year of Manufacture: 2008
    Pros: Every task that I put this machine to has been a job well done. Example: I built a new home, had to dig out over 500 yards of hard pack dirt on hillside for foundation of home. The tractor worked effortlessly. Many other jobs around property and it performed flawlessly. No problems at all.
    Cons: It does get stuck in the muddy garden when soil is very wet. Just as most 4×4 rigs do.
    Could use a cup holder.
    Attachments: Heavy duty bucket.
    Woods Backhoe
    Woods 60″ Brushhog
    60″ Rototiller
    Modifications: NONE
