| Like to hear from guys that have run this tractor. Has a loader on it got 4700 hours what to look for? How do you like the shifting auto 6. Air ride cab. 2006 model. Self-leveling loader but not soft ride. What did you like and dislikes.
Thanks |

Jewell County KS | I have had an '08 with a loader and CVT for a couple years now. It is my go to tractor for baling and loader work. I really like the Sisu engine so far. My only "complaint " is I know I am still not using the CVT to its full potential.
It seems that they may have had some issues with the cab suspension but mine has been fine so far. I did have the main trans. wiring harness slip down and get smashed by the cab suspension on time and caused havoc. Nothing a little time with a soldering iron and zipties did not fix after tracking the problem spot down

Urbandale Ia, (but originally from SE IA) | I had a 2005 RT120 and it had electrical issues from day one that were never resolved. They finally replaced the circuit board in the cab with an update, evidently lot of similar problems, but still had issues. I eventually put a knife switch on the battery terminals (battery would drain if sitting for longer than overnight, plus I didn't want it to start on fire and burn the shed down, although I wouldn't have cared if the tractor went up in flames, just not the other machinery and I'm not one to leave stuff sit outside).
I was at the Iowa Power Farming Show Tuesday at the AGCO booth and they had a very similar looking new MF model. I asked the rep if they had resolved the electrical issues, he said yes they had. I proceeded to mention the problems I'd had with the RT120 and he just had a tight lipped smile and shook his head as if he knew exactly what I was talking about but had "no comment"...

E. CO, exactly half way between NE and OK | I have a 2008 model with the Auto 6 trans., use it to pull a 1600 gallon sprayer and a round baler. The Auto 6 is a delight on the baler and my college age niece loves it on the grain cart. I really like the Sisu engine, no problems with it. I have had problems with the hydralic valves. (manual valves) |

| How is the cab. Lack leg room? |

Near-north Ontario, French River | I thought the "A" denoted the tractor was equiped with CVT? are you sure it has an auto-6? |
|

|
KY | RT120A is a series newer than an RT120. There is no special model number designation for the CVT other than the Powermaxx CVT sticker. |

Shelburne Ontario Canada | Go with the updated hood design in around 07-08 if i remember rite....... most of electrical probs got fixed in that update. Over all a not bad tractor. |

Nc ind | Got a rt100 with the auto 6 never had any electric problems. Got 3000 hrs on it very handy tractor and comfortable tractor to drive. The motor has lots of power for 100 horse pulls a kinze 2500 with inter plant real easy in our hilly ground and down in the muck. |

ND | We have a couple of them around here. We also have a Case loader and I do think the Agco is a nicer tractor to run and the cab is laid out better. The electric joystick on the arm rest is way better than that long handle Case uses. Maybe that 06 doesn't have the new joystick yet. I'm guessing if it's an 06 model it probably has an FL500 loader and that's the biggest thing I don't like about those tractors. The automatic self leveling quit working in both loaders we had and the loader overall seemed under built. Saying that...it seems like we are good at finding the weak points in loaders and they get worked pretty hard around here. In 08 (I think) Agco switched loaders and now uses the same loader mfg Case uses. I'm much happier with that loader as it seems more well built and the manual self leveling always works. |

| We have a 180A and we were told the A was added when the started putting the Issu (AGCO) engine in it? |

Jewell County KS | I have no issue myself with the cab suspension. I just remember reading somewhere about problems with the air compressor or air tanks. |

|
| Did you end up buying the agco? |
