[QUOTE="Lavorn, post: 57159, member: 6440"] I have a 270 and love it!!! It has power to spare and wonderful balance. I have it on a farm in Hawaii and it is very hilly so balance is important. I also have a Volvo in Utah of similar size but it is not as well balanced. The JD hand operators are a bit tricky to get used to and do make your wrists sore if you work it for a long time. I suggest you put a cheap fuel filter in the fuel line to keep from having to replace the more expensive ones that are stock as often. I am hearing that the one weak point with the JD is the park brake/seat belt brake solenoid as they do go out. I am having this very problem with mine right now and need help as no one on Kauai knows anything about fixing the JD skidsteer as I have the only one on the island. Not good for repairs!!! Any ideas on how to get the boom up when the park brake won't release? How do I wire around the park brakes for a temp fix or to replace the solenoid? [/QUOTE]
