[QUOTE="SamN, post: 7999091, member: 148428"] Recently got a 527-58 here. They are very compact, sat down low and it's only 2m wide. It's very capable but you can't see much compared to the bigger ones, visibility is restricted by sitting so low while still having the big bonnet. I'm used to driving 536-60 531-70 etc and they are definitely a better machine. 527-58 is a hydrostatic, completely different to drive than torque converter / powershift. Needs a lot more revs to get any meaningful speed. If you've got a heavy right foot it might not be such an issue but I find it a bit steady to drive and change direction. If you don't have reason for your handler to be compact, look at a 526-56? I know the numbers are smaller but would be comparable just with better visibility and powershift gearbox.
