Hi Jason, Re 574 Diesel, it has a German build D-239 engine in it which is a great engine will run past 10,000 Hrs without rebuild if proper maintenance has been performed. These engines don't like to idle around. They run much better being worked hard. For cold starting below 0F it will require a recirculating tank heater. Even at -15 to -25F plug it in for 30 to 60 minutes and you are good to go. Weak points of tractor are the parking brake and the foot brakes. The parking brake is left on by the operator (there is an idiot light on the dash) and the tractor is driven causing the parking brake band to be chewed up. Unfortunately the parking brake band and drum are inside the transmission and the band bits get into the hydraulic oil causing clogging of other hydraulic valves. The foot brakes are wet hydraulic disks and they have problem with leaky seals and air getting in the system. Before buying check parking brake for holding and check foot brakes for being "spongy".
