I used to own a T190K it had issues from day 1 but once sorted out it was a tough little machine did a great job but was very hard on the operatorand heavy on fuel. I demoed a Tak TL130 which was an awesome machine tough strong reliable efficient etc and would have been my choice but its too tall to get through a standard 2.1m garage door. So i demoed the Cat 257 and ASV 50 beautiful operating machines but a bit under nourished in lift and push power. We cant get Deere in Oz they seem to be the goods on paper by far so I tried a New Holland C175 good power slightly less than the T190 but awesome pilot controls, great ride, quiet, brilliant a/c, and very light on fuel in fact the difference in fuel between the T190(100L) and the C175(55L) a day, in a week it more than pays the lease so the machine is almost free. Only fault so far is the poor wear out of the OEM solideal tracks 60% worn at 280hrs but i'll put bridgestones on it next and that'll cure that. Also so easy to service due to the removable engine cowlings. I use my machine for everything from house cuts to demo and land clearing with a rotary slasher everything up to 5" and it does it with ease and in comfort no overheating probs no issues. Great machine try one and see.
