Well I have had it almost two years almost now and over 500 hours. I am still pleased with the unit and it is giving me good service. The only thing I will say negative is that the clutch has been adjusted at least three times to give proper top play. It has never slipped however but the adjustment is something I would watch if you buy one. The clutches in these machines are evidently not a strong point as I have heard others talk about this same issue. I am not one to ride the clutch either nor do I move in an opposite direction before coming to a full stop. The little Perkins is pretty gutsy I had it dynoed at the last service (just a little over three hundred hours) and it turned 79hp at stall and 67hp at rated speed (540 PTO) which is well above factory ratings.

312 hour on clutch doesn't seem to tough to me. I hope my DK65 goes waaaaaay more than that I had a 1967 4020 JD with 8000+ hours on the clutch and was still strong.

Tom,
I am getting 2550 psi on hydraulics from the main pump but have not plumbed into the steering priority valve. I do not have the steering problem when the tractor is cold or within the first 1/2 hour of start up. The steering problem occurs when I have used the tractor for some task, does not havbew to be hydraulically oriented. After tractor is completely warm by the temp guage it will occur. There is a loader on the front end but no bucket or spear. The dealer thinks it is possably the priority valve on top of the pump. But I am in the middle of making about 60 acres of hay and cannot do without the tractor for a week for him to parts change to try to find the problem. Almost makes me want my 4020 deere back. Except for the fuel usage! ha ha
