I love tearing out small trees with this tractor and loader. The bucket edge is quite sharp for tearing out roots, and the hydrostat is perfect for back and forth close quarters work (I was skeptical having used power reversers on larger machines), surprised how much the hydro will push.
So far, the beet juice is enough for me without additional ballast.
5 hours on the meter.
The bucket volume is a bit small I've found, hard to really load much into it without it being full immediately. End up pushing logs and brush at distance, where with a larger bucketed machine I'd usually be able to pick them up and fit it inside the bucket.
