does anyone have anything to say about them I picked up a bunch of winter work and I just think this machine will be the right size to add when October hits and grass is done and I can start on clearing and drain projects to have winter work. any input on this machine would be helpful

I have one, it has about 1600 hours on it and I’ve been very happy with it. It seems to be a strong, fast machine for its size. I have a pin grabber coupler, a hydraulic thumb on it, and an angle blade, I kind of think the angle blade is unnecessary for the most part as I don’t do a lot of “dozing” with it. The cab is nice and seems like it’s got plenty of room. It does have a DPF muffler on it, so I wouldn’t recommend a lot of idling, I’ve had to replace two sensors related to the emissions, they were $500 apiece. The biggest thing would be dealer support, my dealer is about an hour and change away and they have recently sold out to another company.

did you buy yours brand new? and I just want the regular blade but my dealer is 45 away and fairly small but they sell a lot of machines I see them everywhere
