I am not going to sugar coat anything.
-So I had to drive 4 hours to get this tractor. It was a brand new unit and there was rust in several places that is new from the factory. -Not impressed, but this is iron and not a lexus, -move on.
-The tractor did move those rocks, but dang it just barley and mean just barely move the first one (not pictured) - Did it do the job? Yes. But that does have me worried.
-Needing to keep the motor at high revs is a bit of a bummer because its loud and mildly annoying to me.
-The back and forth pedal is going to take some getting used to,but will be second nature I am sure.
- I wished I could plum or knew how to plumb the backhoe for cat controls. I cant run this backhoe for nuthing!!
All of the aforementioned was anticipated, and expected throughout my shopping. Please dont misunderstand, I think this is a very nice little tractor. In fact, I am going to stop yapping at you couch lovers right now and go out side to BURN DIESEL!

Husqvarna 327pt5s"
I just bought one myself a few weeks ago. For anyone who has trees, once you use one, it's like, "how did I get along without it"---kinda like a loader on a tractor. Sure beats hauling a ladder around and hoping to stay on it!!!

YES - IT IS NOT A LEXUS! IT IS A MACHINE THAT WILL GET BANGED UP AND BEAT UP AND REFLECT THE OPERATORS USAGE!

HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THAT ROCK WEIGHED? BTW - YOU CAN INCREASE THE BX'S PSI FROM ABOUT 1700 PSI TO CLOSE TO 2000 PSI FOR ABOUT 5 CENTS.......
-Needing to keep the motor at high revs is a bit of a bummer because its loud and mildly annoying to me.
DIESELS AND PUMPS ARE MEANT TO RUN - NOT AT IDLE .........IF YOU WANT FLUID TO FLOW - HAVE TO GET IN THE RANGE THAT THE ENGINE AND PUMP WORK AT THE BEST.
-The back and forth pedal is going to take some getting used to,but will be second nature I am sure. I DONT UNDERSTAND THOSE WHO LIKE TWO PEDALS SIDE BY SIDE - BUT HELL THAT IS JUST ME, IN A TIGHT QUARTER SITUATION - HITTING THE WRONG PEDAL WITH BOOTS ON WOULD BE A DISASTER! THE ROCKER STYLE MAY BE A LITTLE WEIRD BUT ....USABLE
- I wished I could plum or knew how to plumb the backhoe for cat controls. I cant run this backhoe for nuthing!! YOU CAN- JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHAT CONTROLS WHAT - VERY EASY TO DO !

In fact, I am going to stop yapping at you couch lovers right now and go out side to BURN DIESEL! BURN A WEE LITTLE BIT OF DIESEL I MIGHT ADD......THE JD AND THE OTHERS WOULD BURN A WEE BIT MORE!!!

You can swap your lines for swing, tilt and all that on the backhoe to get the controls to operate the way you like. You would just have to trace the lines for each portion, and swap to the desired location for the control

Is there a write up on this anywhere?
Nice looking little ride!! I think you will be pleased.
I have never understood all the hoopla about the pedals. I see very little likelihood of getting confused with a rocker pedal. Forward goes forward. Backward goes backward. I DO however see a lot of potential to get confused with side-by-side pedals. Right go forward? Left go forward? Most of the tractors made for the last 50 yrs have two brake pedals on the right side. Panic to hit the brakes and what happens????
To me, and JMHO, no comparison. Rocker pedal wins big time.
And another think I am not a great fan of on the green ones, DANG they have a lot of hoses sticking out where they could get snagged and torn off. We use our equipment in the woods a lot, and I would be leery of that also.
