I have one - I like it a lot - of course I have to get it out of the repair shop this weekend..... the good - it has a lot of gears and can go real slow - both forward and reverse
it has differential lock and mine also is MFWD - a great loader tractor glow plugs make it start real good - plug it in for a couple hours and it starts like summer - pretty good fuel economy (i think anyway) - the PTO has a reverse - when the round baler plugs I can put the PTO in reverse and just back up a ways and clear the plug.....
mine even has an option of an extra set of hydraulic remotes - so I have triple hydraulics - can run an implement and not disconnect anything on the loader the bad - parts are expensive (what aren't) - but i have gotten everything at my local agco dealer - i found i can get oil filters much cheaper at a local auto parts store - that is really all i have bought for mine - in 6 years or so of owning it - for light duty loader stuff, snow removal, and tiny amount of haying and spraying in summer....
top speed is about 14 mph - not a road racer..
mine had a bizarre PTO problem - it would quit just out of the blue after using it al lday then u couldn't use it again until the whole tractor cooled off - they had to split it to fix it- a couple of steel retaining seals were shot and broke - that was it - had them put a clutch in at the same time - mine has 4600 hours right now - i think mine is a '88
comments - the isuzu diese li have heard from several is good - a lot of delivery vehicles like UPS vans and bread trucks use them...also now a lot of irrigation engines have started using them
