A friend of mine has one that I have used quite a lot. It is the gas model with the big IH loader. As Chuck said, poor traction, but 1200 pounds of concrete on the 3Pt cures that. It is a really handy loader tractor, and that loader is pretty strong. The high/low/reverse shifter is on the left where it should be for loader work and works well. On the minus side: I personally cannot operate any loader for very long if I have to push straight down on the brake/clutch pedals, my knees cannot take it. I have also used it some in haying and it has to be the hottest thing I have ever driven. You are tucked down inside the loader frame, and the saddle tank blocks any air movement to or from the rear, the transmission gets hot under your seat, and the muffler is under your left foot. The fact that it is a gas engine probably makes it even hotter, I have driven a diesel, but not long enough to notice whether there was a difference. Probably one without the loader would be cooler.
