He's not asking about 2014 vintage though, 8000 series is 15-20 years prior to that........
So the point 10 years old there is start of issues does not suggest in +20 years the issues might be worse? Plus they can’t be left outside. Future tractor/combine salvage will have to remove, tag, record parts then place inside temp controlled. Likely in sealed bags to reduce degradation.
And I thought I was overly paranoid about things… you need to relax… there is alot of livestock operations not to mention a lot of southern operations where the equipment runs 12 months of the year with equipment of just about everything vintage up to new and guess what… it magically works every day….
If you take care of something it will last just fine. Have tractors that are currently being used that are 9 to 50 plus years old and I’m not worried about any of them getting parts or being able to run for a long time yet… wanna know what the funny thing is.. they aren’t green tractors either!!! The green ones of the same age will have no issues being supported. There are a lot of cattle guys in cold weather climates running those tractors way past what a typical row cropper will…
How long will 90s and 2000s equipment be reliable?
