Subject: Re: Bad engines in 70 series John Deere Combines


It's not a scientific poll, but around here about 25% of the 9870's sold in the past 2 years have blown up within the first 100 hours. To their credit,they have gotten them fixed with new engines quickly and in most cases have furnished a loaner combine while it was being fixed. I assumed they would have the problem fixed but there have been more of them do it this year so I don't know what to make of that. We had trouble with a 9220 as well and never felt like they made it right. I think all the new emissions standards are just another example of how determined this country is to commit economic suicide. We're mandating all this BS that increases cost, reduces reliability, increases fuel consumption, and doesn't benefit the environment enough to even count.
