  1. Jeffrey Hicks says:

    It is a good little tractor and definitely hits above it’s weight class you would be amazed what that little tractor will do does good on fuel and we pull more than it is rated for hauled many loads of hay 12round bales on goose neck and one on the front and 300square bales up a pretty steep hill in 4th gear I don’t know what each bale weigh but probably 50bls plus easy times 300 is a lot

    Year of Manufacture: 1979
    Pros: Very dependable workhorse though and good on fuel easy to operate
    Cons: Light on the ass end for loader work and PTO lever is hard to engage and cramped operating area
