I have (2) and they are both very good tractors. Both are 6000 engines and start with little or no hesitation. As with most of the crawlers out there, at least the direct drive models, the clutches are the problem, regardless of the brand name. Although I have had no problems with final drives and axles, many people have.

The drum/winch should have two levers with release levers. Squeeze the release and push either lever all the way forward and release the release and pull that lever back. The brake lever should ratchet as it moves back until the brake is set. The gear lever should not move as it has a lock detent for forward, neutral and reverse.

my hd5 had a winch. one of the levers was for forward/reverse, the other released the drum to allow for freewheel to spool out alot of cable. the manual clutch needed to be engaged to drive the winch. does your have a manual clutch or power shift? my cables were stuck and i had to remove the cover and disconnect to get to work.
