I've never bought a new tractor. I wouldn't buy a product on time payments that depreciates faster than already eaten corn flakes. But - that's just me.
Whatever you get, buy the extra extended warranty that covers ALL the electronics, wiring, controls, switches, buttons, etc. Not the driveline stuff, but all the gadgetry.
My neighbor at the lake bought a brand new mini-tractor with FEL back in Nov when they were having a closeout on in-stock inventory. Maybe it was a 2017 model, I don't know. It's been back in the shop 4 times for various electrical issues. There's a PTO tach needle that's stuck at 540, no matter what the engine speed is.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
