Well, I think it depends on the type of tractor. The big box store ones are junk that cant even handle moving the lawn without wearing out in a few years. This tractor however is much more heavy duty with grease zerks in all key places. They can last a long time with the right maintenance. Take a look at isavetractors youtube page and you see plenty of old but running garden tractors.Have a great day!
@@NilsKall absolutely... home depot and lowe's is low end throw away.It seems if you are on a budget but what a heavy duty tractor you are stuck buying a worn out john Deere or case tractor and slowly buy parts to bring back to life..I know been there many..many.. times.Now I purchased a new loader tractor...all these years struggling with used and abused machines being 60 years old I deserved it....tell you what feels good!!! That new tractor smell!!!!
Mike Secondo yeah, new is always great, at least when you buy the right stuff. This tractor only had about 100 hours on it when I bought it so it was in great shape. Had one easy to fix issue with the steering and one with the starter with but besides that I only changed oils and filter and lubed it and it worked great.
Great work. Having s tractor is awesome. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden
Thank you, yes a tractor is a great tool!
Great when they are new..few years go by and components wear prematurely.these small garden tractors were not made to handle the heavy loads

Did you make this loader?
Hi! No its a original loader made for this machine. It’s made by Kwik-way loaders. Regards Nils
