Wi | Chris 924 - 4/12/2013 17:16 wow lots of talk lots of points , hobby 95 stay away from the CNH cvt , the thing pulses trying to figure out which gear to be in at certian loads at certian speeds, if your choice is JD vs Case , go Deere. if you are open to trying something different, try a Fendt, both MF and Challenger have the same CVT as Fendt , but the Fendt is by far the best Tractor to drive period! the moment you decide to go CVT the price is leveled out for all brands more or less so go with the best , and i truely believe this , i was a Deere man , Bleed green , i spent 3 days in a Fendt two years ago , now i got two and rest will get changed as well, i challenge anyone to give me an honest day in a Fendt , leave your color behind , take the bit of time to learn and you'll agree there are the nicest to run period!
I noticed a lot of "hunting" in the CNH CVT when running it. Just seemed very slow. Maybe I was not operating it correctly, but I could not get the extreme decelleration out of it like I could with the Fendt CVT.
The price of Deere and Fendt are close, CNH and MF are close but are lower than Deere and Fendt. IIRC from the pricing I have done past and present a similar Fendt is usually 40-50k higher than an MF/Agco, however after our terrible experiences with the MF/Agcos it has become clear to the others why there is the big price spread.
The reasons people don't like Fendt are, too complicated/don't want to know how to operate them, ugly color, poor dealer support. I really have not heard many other reasons. Many did not like the small cab on the older models, but on the newer ones the complaints are mostly related to people not recieving the proper training, or not wanting it. Dealer support can be a concern for many, however it seems Fendt's do not need the dealer as much. Still need one within a reasonable distance though because nothing is flawless/bulletproof. |
