| Is this a reliable tractor? My neighbor is looking at one with 5000 hours, mfwd, and a loader. He is going to drive it tomorrow and is wondering what to look for and ask about before bringing it home. |

Woodham, Ontario | We had a 1997 8160 and put 7650 hours on it without any real problems. The 8360 will have a turbo on it and auto diff-lock, but the rest is the same. Look at the hydraulics, those are sometimes problematic. We probably could have kept ours longer. These tractors were excellent in their time |

NW Kansas | I also have a 8160 mfwd and a 8260 two wheel drive,also a TM 125 which is mostly the same . The main problems have been error codes for all sorts of reasons.None of the fixes have been expensive but some were harder to find.The only advice I have is to get a service manual so you can trouble shoot yourself.Yes I would buy them all again and got the manuals when an area dealership went out of business. I really like the tractors for all uses especially baler and loader applications.

| I have a NH 8360 MFD with loader. Bought it this summer with 4700hrs. Before I bought it everyone said they were a very reliable tractor. The only problems I have had are electrical with the error codes. I have had this happen a couple times where it would just stop and start flashing a code. That problem was a clutch sensor wire. The problem I am having right now is the fuel cutting out and it not wanting to restart, dealer again says its probably an electrical problem. I cant figure it out which probably will result in a service call.
Other than the electrical trouble it has been good. Its a nice intermediate sized tractor and will be used more than any other tractor on farm. If you dont mind what is the price? Its pretty much identical to the one I got. |
