Crawfordsville, Arkansas
Cramming the air intake and muffler under the hood didn't help things. Ours was just a nightmare. Rebuilt the front end, pumpkin twice, engine had just been rebuilt when we bought it and we redid it once after the under the hood air intake's seals let go and it got a mouthful of dust. When it left water from the radiator was coming out the blowby tube something fierce. The electric hitch controls gave us fits also. Fuel shutoff got replaced 3 or 4 times. Almost a yearly thing. Water pump went out. We got lucky there and caught it in time. Front driveshaft needed reworked on a yearly basis. There's plenty more that went wrong, broke, tore up or blew up..

8000 series, even the very first ones, were 10 times the tractor a 60 series was. Selling our 60 was one of the best monetary decisions we've ever made.
