NC IA | 01 and newer machines have the plastic tank. It holds 160 gal vs. 110 on the old steel ones. My old steel tank was leaking, real bad, at the soldered seam on the backside. After several unsuccessful tries at patching it externally failed, if I was going to remove it from the machine, only a new one was going back in. A new steel tank was over $2000, vs. a plastic tank from a newer 23/25 was only $900. The problem was all the other stuff in addition that needs retroed also. The main backsheet is totally different, and the side sheets too and some other brackets. In the end I had another $2000 in additional parts to make it work, and it was a mother of a job (I think worse than taking the grain tank off) but I do like it now that its done, especially with the extra fuel capacity. Honestly I don't know if I would do another one or recommend anyone else doing the retro. But it is an option. | |
