NE WI | We have 12000 hours on one dad bought new. Engine valve train gone through at 6500 hours and rings went at 6800 hours.
New hydraulic pump at 11000 hours.
Was used in winter to haul manure so lots of cold starts probably didnt help. Also had a loader on it so a few clutches as well. Last clutch job needed a new flywheel as it was at minimum spec.
Early on the PTO drive shaft splines stripped and was replaced with an updated version. Required a double split to replace the shaft.
PTO break band is weak area as well. If PTO spins when cold the break band is probably broke. Requires a double split to fix that.
Engine can cavitate a pinhole in cylinder area so keep the additives in check in the coolant.
Injector pump has its own sump. Change it every time you change oil with 15-40W. If it’s diesel logged plungers probably need work in pump.
We replaced the hydraulic couplers on the back to quick connect vs the lever style as they were shot.
Dual power has been rock solid. Make sure it doesn’t hesitate when shifting the dual power.
Rear brakes, axle bearing, and seals were done somewhere between 8-10k hours.
Couple of sets of steering ball joints along the way as well.
Got new paint and an air ride seat. It’s our main planting and spraying tractor.
