I think it shouldn't be a question so much as to if the gears can hold the tractor, but if the tractor can hold the load behind it. In my experience, it comes down to many variables such as terrain type, are you driving on gravel or grass or dirt, how steep of a grade, etc. For the example, we...

I love it, and I've driven machines both bigger and smaller. Love the layout of the cab, everything is in easy reach and makes sense layout wise. (By the way, the A/C is top notch, feels ice cold almost immediately after turning it on). The thing I was most surprised about was how quiet it is...

I have an M5-111 HDC24, and have about 240 acres of hilly land (think Mississippi river valley) and have had no problems with it. I use it for mowing all the time. You have to remember, too, that the majority of tractors aren't designed to be operated on steep slopes. Do they work fine in most...
