Great tractor, handle carts and drills easily, the 9 to 10 shift is agreeably rough, but just idle back and you will be OK. We big square and cut hay with a 16' discbine with an 8870 that is 2000 vintage with no problems. Supersteer is real nice too. One guy bent the toungue on the discbine. Pull both no problem, cutting in 13th gear at approx. 12 MPH is a real thrill
