There are lots of them around here. They are very solid. I own a 8970. I haven't had to touch my engine. I know of a guy about 100 miles from me that did. It wasn't too bad. Now, NH offers a reman exchange. I believe JD bought Funk after the Genesis series came out because it was a better transmission. Also, a Versatile 2160, 2180, or 2210 is the same tractor, but red.
