Looks like they redesigned the layout for the new ones. The loader controls are moved back to the fender, more space in the cockpit. I’m actually looking at a new one right now and probably going to purchase if it comes in at the correct price
Dude, you gotta check out the new 2023 Solis. All kinds of different and upgrades including everything you bitched about. Goin to get one next week. They really do need a dual hydraukic systum like the TYM 2515
Same tractor. Changed the hydraulic filter and it stopped the dropping of the bucket so quickly. I believe it gets trash from original break in inside the hydraulic valves
Looks like a nice machine and a great review , I have the RK25 from rural king and i wish it had steps to get on like yours and also the fuel cap is in a way better spot then on the rear right fender of the RK"s . My tractor doesnt have all the levers on the floor but like you said its almost impossible to climb on from the right side . Enjoy your tractor its very nice .
Tractors are like horses, you should always mount from the left. When using the loader you should use the 4 x 4, it will give you better ability. THANK YOU for this truthful video, great information...
You can buy a weight to a back three-point hitch, Solis made them for this tractor. Why you still have front weight on if you have front loader? Its 28KG hanged behind the metal bumper by two bolts, you can also use them and try to put them on the back bar.
Yes that is strange . Here in Canada they come with a standard Hydrostatic transmissions and the protective roll bars are a totally different design. I'm currently looking at them.
Hello sir. I was curious, about the hood not latching. Have you checked the latch, to make sure it hasn’t gotten pushed down, in the locking position. I remember older car door latches, getting pushed down, making the door not latch. Pull the hood latch knob and just flip the latch back open. The hood should start locking in the latch again. Please forgive me, if you have already checked it. Very nice tractor. My neighbor loves his Solis so far. Hope this helps. Take care.
@@jeffwithhart this is not a difference of engine power it's a difference on how you measures the power. The standards change depending on the country. In France it's 26HP
i have the solis 26 (i live in portugal) just brand new with only 3 hours. My ROPS is the other way around, on yours its definitely the wrong way, would send you a foto or short video to claim it while you have warranty!;)
@@jeffwithhart the reason why the loader block is the way it is configured your not meant to mount the loader on that side, it's a European safety thing. Never mount machine from left, looking at the front of machine bucket facing us
I seen another video where it shows they key breaks away side to side when you get in. How does it do digging in dirt, Could I dig a hole with the loader?
Awesome review!! Seems overall it's just a bare bones tractor that gets the job done. Bare bones to me less crap that can break. My question to you is where can I buy one in 2022. I don't seem to see them anywhere. How's it still holding up? Thanks again.
So they are sold at yanmar dealerships. I'm in Georgia and there is a dealer very close to me. As it turns out I will be selling mine soon if yiur interested lol
I don't remember the price off the top of my head but they are the same price everywhere. Maybe $11,000. But so far it's doing a great job. I'm just about to do the 50 hour maintenance and I will be making a video of that as well. But so far the hood latch has had to be fixed and the starter has begun acting up like the solenoid doesn't want to engage. It's still under warrenty I just haven't dealt with it yet. But I am still very pleased with it and it is a great value.
That water is going to rust out the rims in no time. Water ph less than 7.0 is very acidic and not that mention mixing it with air is not good at all! I give those rim’s about 2 years and you’ll need new rims! I work in water filtration and I don’t care if they are painted or epoxy coated that’s a terrible idea! Even if the ph is above 7 it is not worth buying 2 new rims in a few years. You should take the water out immediately and completely dry them and just use weight on the 3pt hitch

Large rocks and boulders.. boy I would be running you up the yard.... another 10 hrs it will be wrecked from you.. its not a 200 hp machine.. respect your machine.. man..
I've never heard of the Solis tractor and certainly would never buy one. i have a Massey Ferguson GC 2400 and am buying a new Massey Ferguson GC1725MB tractor, loader, backhoe. in my opinion, the only tractors in the sub-compact category that one should consider are the Massey, Kubota, John Deere, Rural King, and Kioti. The TYM and New Holland/LS are "OK" but they seem to have a much more limited dealer network than the first tractors i mentioned. the fact that the Solis tractor you have is a "manual shift" tractor is VERY odd for the sub-compact tractor category ESPECIALLY with the loader attachment. you MUST have either a hydrostat or "shuttle shift" to run a tractor with a loader. i can't even imagine the annoyance of trying to use a front loader on a "manual shift" tractor. with these tractors, you get what you pay for and while i have no doubt all the first tractors i mentioned are much more expensive than your "Solis" tractor, the money saved would NEVER be worth the ease of use, availability of parts, and dealer support that you would get with the tractors i mentioned.
I have used several older tractors that were built before there was such a thing as automatic or hydrostatic transmissions. I would certainly say I would prefer hydrostatic, but this tractor is actually very easy to operate. To get a comparable tractor with hydrostatic I would have to spend nearly $6,000 more. And as far as dealer network, they are sold and serviced by yanmar. I'd be willing to bet you have a yanmar center near you.
A little "coordination" & being "wide-awake" is ALL that it takes to "Operate" a gear drive tractor. The Swash-plate plunger Hydro-static drive units are"Way cheeper" to manufacture than a Gear-Drive. Hydro-slack-o-howl-matics are SO EASY to MARKET& SELL; thus being able to be SOLD for more money.* ( this is a well guarded dealer-manufacture secret). Only physically impeded & super high production users "Need" a hydrostatic drive;( as they guzzel fuel like water. Not to be "confused" with "Heavy-duty hydraulic-hydrostatic-torque amplifying transmissions that "HEAVY EQUIPMENT" uses! The convenience of hydrostatic is the MAIN reason "why" compact-tractors are "marketed" to the 35-75 hour per year customer ;Aka.= "hobby-farmer".

Great review, very informative. I appreciate it, I was going to see these tomorrow at the local dealer, but I won't touch one now. Thanks again.

Good tractor. I have got a Kubota B1241 also with 24 hp. This is a little powerful mashine.
I agree, that 24 hp seems to be the sweet spot
Same tractor. Changed the hydraulic filter and it stopped the dropping of the bucket so quickly. I believe it gets trash from original break in inside the hydraulic valves
I'm doing my 50 hour service now. Hopefully it gets better
I would love to see more videos on the solis 24. Even just watching it in action, there are very few US solis 24 videos. Thank you so much!
OK will do soon!
All you have to do is move the two bolts under your seat and Voila it should give you much more room. Great video by the way.
I looked at the 4 bolts it looks like it's already in the back position. I'll check that again
I see you are a year in. You are correct your roll bar is connected incorrectly. I’m sure you’ve sorted it by now.

In Canada this unit is a HST 24 hp and is the color Blue.
I have noticed it seems to be blue everywhere except here in the USA

@@danielmarkleblanc1800 who is the dealer in Eastern Canada please

Yes your rops mounts are backwards. You need to swap the pins and bolts around
pin goes on top. bolt goes where the pin is now youtube wont let me paste a pic

Never heard of this. They are selling Solis 20 and 26 in my country
As far as I can tell the only difference is the extra 2 horsepower. And that makes me think I could get the same horsepower out of my tractor.
@@jeffwithhart this is not a difference of engine power it's a difference on how you measures the power. The standards change depending on the country. In France it's 26HP
That's very interesting. It's all marketing! But I still love this tractor
Your correct ROPS is incorrectly installed. Didn’t you notice the small operator station?
i have the solis 26 (i live in portugal) just brand new with only 3 hours. My ROPS is the other way around, on yours its definitely the wrong way, would send you a foto or short video to claim it while you have warranty!;)
Thank you, I would love to see a picture of your setup

Check Hinomoto HM255 with yanmar engine, a great tractor 2022
Great review. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
It would be easier to get on if the steering wheel was not rigid but tiltable.
Agreed
I seen another video where it shows they key breaks away side to side when you get in. How does it do digging in dirt, Could I dig a hole with the loader?
Push the opening latch back in.. its out.. you could see it from outer space..
Thank you sharing I’ve been looking one of this how find out the price of this tractor how much they go for thank you
I want something for plowing and tilling a garden. Will this tractor do it?
Absolutely. I have a very large very heavy box blade and it pulls it full of dirt and clay.
Awesome review!! Seems overall it's just a bare bones tractor that gets the job done. Bare bones to me less crap that can break. My question to you is where can I buy one in 2022. I don't seem to see them anywhere. How's it still holding up? Thanks again.

@@jeffwithhart2916 Why did you sell it ?
Did you ever get the hood latch sorted?
I did. The "u" bracket on the actual hood portion was bent inward. I straightened it and it's been perfect since
@@jeffwithhart awesome 😎🤘
@@jeffwithhart
Btw. I just subbed
I wish I could afford one
That's a plainer summit tractor . What do they ask for it ?
If anyone has any questions or comments feel free to ask
Hello, did you mention the price? if so I didn't catch it thanks.
If you put him in reverse when you stop, it is easyer to get off or on . Then there is more place for your feet .😉
And i had the same problem with the lock off the hood . But afther 700h in 2 years still happy with my solis 26
Nice tip I'll give that a try!
@@staldewinterbeek any proems in this 700h? Im in a market for on and dont know if its worfth it
How is the tractor holding up if you don’t mind how much did you pay for it?
I don't remember the price off the top of my head but they are the same price everywhere. Maybe $11,000. But so far it's doing a great job.

ok it was actually $12,988
Far as everything being so close . It is a compact series . 😆
