    Hard to manuver...Looks are deciving. October 24, 2009

    1) I bought this trackter in April, and the longer I have it the more I wish i'd have done a bit more shopping.

    2) It looks like a great tracter, but if you have to do a lot of turning and reversing, it's a pain.  It is a tight steering wheel, needs 2 hands for turning, and you have to have one hand on the trans speed control at the same time.The side seat transmition Forward/Reverse control arm is easy enough to use but it's hard to control that while going into a turn. You actually have to throttle back then go into your turn.  Or put it on the deck and have it a foot control.

    3) There is no suspension to speak of, so you feel every bump and mogal in the ground.

    4) It takes forever to start when it's been sitting for a few days; sometimes I have to crank it for about 1 to 2 minutes while running the throttle up and down trying to get gas to the carburator. Their need to be a gas primer installed or have the gas tank higher than the carburator or I just have a bad one. Once it's going for a few minutes it starts right away.

    5) My suggestion is keep looking for an easier machine. I'm not happy with mine. for $2000.00, I wish I looked a little harder or went to a Mom & Pop supplier for more indepth training and information. Sears sales people only had stats to compair. not actual experience.
