Subject: RE: Why would you DESTROY this tractor?


Sunnyside, WA
I have an 8110 that fits right between #3 & 4, even have pictures, but that was 3 years and 7000 hours ago. No one would know it was on its side if not for the bent right fender and the $15,000 bill to repair it. Some would call it junk, I call it a great 15,000 hour tractor (and counting!).

I also bought a nice 9520 used with 2700 hours on it one year ago. Put 600+ hours on it and the front differential let loose and even cracked the cast case. I now have a $25,000 repair bill on what I thought was a good tractor.

Seems like all tractors I buy have the potential to have a major breakdown. I just try to buy them right so I can afford to major fixes and hope it doesn't happen to all of them at the same time.
