Anyone here running NH T8 tractors. Just wondering how they go for fuel consumption and reliability with the Adblu. They look good on paper. Looking at buying one. TIA.

It depends on how you are using it but approx 2.5 diesel fills per adblue fill. The adblue system has been problem free althought the tractor itself had a few issues which I expected for a new model.

Haven't had mine to the field yet, I didn't think I like the changes over the 8000 series, but I'm starting to like it better all the time, really quiet.

main fuse breaker blew a couple times could not figure out why and a piece of an oring got stuck in a shift valve and tractor would not shift gears. Tractor had to be split. Did not find the source of the oring either. Maybe it came from an implement we were using so Im not blaming it on the tractor for sure.
Dealer was excellent and we had new tractor to use while it was repaired.
I admit am am a big fan of the 8000 series NH tractors and there we some things I did not like at first but after using it for a while I wouldnt want to switch back. Cab is very quiet, way quieter than out 8345JD. Getting used to the new shift handle takes a while after being used to the 8000 series.
Mainly due to the cab I prefer the NH over the JD but both tractors have advantages.

I currently run 20 series green. Good gear but am not a fan of the new JD EGR tier 4. Blue dealer gave best price on trade by quite a bit over green dealer. Good after service from both. Nice tractors, just wondering if there has been any issues with the new T series. Thanks for the info...

We have a t8.390 had a few problems with the urea system ended up the tank was not cleaned when new. Tractor is easy on fuel and no real other problems I think we have around 800 hours on it.
