I have found a local AC5030 with ag tires. It has sliding gear transmission, Toyosha 2 cylinder diesel 1.5L, 26 PTO horsepower engine.
1. Are these compact tractors reliable? This one has <1000 hours.
2. Are front end loaders available and are the loaders capable. The Deere 4440 has a nice loader but I want a compact unit. Will the AC5030 run like a agriculturally sized Deere?
3. Does the hydraulic pump produce enough volume to run 8 inch grain auger?
4. Transmission: The JD4555 has a transmission that allows shifting with out using the clutch while under load. You can shift from forward to reverse easily at low speed without clutching and that would make the loader on the AC5030 very useful. Will this sliding gear system all that?
