Fuel economy is great and it is a really good tillage tractor. The pony can be a pain and is expensive to repair. Realize that you have another complete engine. The "bad" issues in my opinion are the hand clutch, "warp speed" reverse, and general transmission shifting. It's been my experience that you can not start a load, and then upshift on the go. Real hard to start/use 6th gear with a loaded 300 bu wagon on the road. You use 5th until you come to a down grade, or just "fry" the clutch at full throttle in 6th until you get the load moving on level ground. The clutch is really undersized in my opinion. The larger standard tractors (D thru 830) have a much more robust arrangement. However, you don't have to worry about any of the problems when doing tillage. This is a really bad loader tractor, although you can move the hydraulic controls to the left side which would help some.
