East Prairie, MO | Well, I went and drove the 8680 today. REALLY nice tractor with a few little issues, the top of the cab leaks enough that the headliner was wet and the climate control system wasn't working. Those I'm sure can be fixed under warranty. BUT, the one thing that can only be fixed with money is that Chincy, Cheap looking Top Con X45 monitor! Couldn't hardly read it, terrible screen! Why on earth would a company put out a quarter of a Million dollar tractor with a cheap looking monitor like that to control the autosteer? I did some research and found out Topcon has a $3395 upgrade and they will trade you out of the x45 for the x30. Anyone run the x30? How is it? I know it sounds stupid but that cooled me on the tractor a little, dealer actually got right on the money and I'm hoping will help with the monitor upgrade if I do the deal. I stopped by the JD dealer on the way home and checked out a 1 yr. old 8310R with ILS and 400 hrs. and only $6,000 higher than that Massey, if they will give me the same money for my trade as the other place this will be a non issue. $6,000 to put me in a Deere like that is a no brainer for me even if with the CVT in the Massey.... | |
