$7800.00 is somewhat high for the tractor and equipment. I have owned a 650 since 1987 and am well pleased with it. I use it for pulling a 5' flail mower,4' harrow and using a loader. I expect it would be some what disappointing for pushing snow w/o 4 wheel drive,which was an option.I changed from ag tires to turf tires, because with turf tires and the differential lock it would push more than the ag tires, which would spin down in a narrow rut very quickly. The tractor is tough,but has not got a live p.t.o. which some times can be a bother if you are not thinking ahead when mowing, I added power steering so that I could turn it after I added the loader, also added selective control valves for the loader. I have got 1200+ hrs on mine and except for one stupid mistake of spraying it with ether(DEFINETLY A NO-NO!had to put pistons in it)!I have had very little problems with it, it is a good unit if you remember it's only 14.5 flywheel h.p. It has one or two drawbacks in the fuel system, they do not have but one fuel filter, I installed a oil burner spin-on type filter in line after the factory bowl, and to really boost the pulling power I inatalled a small electric fuel pump in the fuel system, it was always sort of weak in stock form, but was much more powerful with the pump, and would actully get enough fuel to produce black smoke under a hard pull instead of dying down. All in all it is a good unit,just remember it is a small compact tractor. Just a foot note; I have a loader for one to sell cheap if any body needs it. I have nothing but good words for mine.
