Wheel weights will help but the wheelbase is so short on these that it won't be fully effective I think. Always have a weight on the back of the one here, she would be very lively without.If budget allows il definitely get a power shuttle model seen a few on ag affaires not badly priced but i wouldnt know what to look out for on 1
Isn't much to look out for on them really, they have an iveco engine which is pretty faultless. Just the usual checks on that. The pickup hitch design is not great and can be very sloppy, drop the hitch and shake from side to side to check for play.
Also the guides either side of the hitch for the release get worn at the bottom and can fall out.
If it's manual shuttle the cough release is very high so don't panic for this but do give it a good try out .
Compare the wear on pedals to the hours advertised. In my experience these tractors hold their shape very well and if anything they could have a few hours more than stated.
We traded one with over 10k hours which no man could guess had more than 5 looking at it
