    Axles. Front of them can't stand up to the weight. Some JCB engines have electric issues and head gaskets too. You might be better off going for a Perkins motor.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    I hear they are light on the back, if you are on a hill with bales forget the 2wd.
