The transaxle on it is a Hydro-Gear BDU10. I had contacted them about the transaxle and if they would recommend ground engaged implements. They took the stance you have to contact the tractor manufacturer because they only supply the one item. So they wouldn’t answer directly either.

I did see this video on YouTube of a guy plowing with the XT3:

The tractor makes it look easy.
Thanks for posting the YouTube link. I have been curious as to the viability of that model doing such work. My observations; 1) The garden soil looks incredibly smooth and fine...no clay...no major rocks and the soil is quite dry. 2) The tractor needs ballast...wheel weights, filled tires would help considerably with traction. Now that being said, if the soil was wet or crappy clay hard and rock filled soil it may prove too much work for that tractor. 3)The guy makes nice straight lines. 4) For me....I will use my time tested 1970s stuff. Old school stuff is fun to drive and not difficult to operate especially stuff with hydraulics.
