Subject: Re: T8 330 ??


We have about 850 hrs on a T8.390 and have had no bother outside of electrical gremlins.

I'd be careful working full power in heavy stubble, we couldn't keep her clean enough mulching cotton stubble, and she'd smolder down at the bottom of the muffler and melt cables etc. She just seems to collect material everywhere. Clean down every hour vs every other day for an 8410. Needless to say mulcher went back on the Deere.

Pulls well. Replaced a Caseih 9380 quite well, albeit one that had 11000 hrs.

Quietest cab I've ever experienced with excellent air con. I Like the cab suspension except in powerhop turns. Shakes side to side so violently you have a job to stop.

Front axle suits us better than ILS for better crop clearance. It looks extremely strong, we carry a 1.5 ton NH3 gas tank out front with no trouble. hoping for less maintenance costs long term over ILS. Suspension compares favorably to our 8530.

Really like the 50km/hr gearbox. Drives like a car.

Dislike the oversized bonnet and fan noise at idle compared to Deere. Ambivalent about the joystick controls.
