Central Nebraska | I also have first hand experience with Agco tractors and not Allis tractors! Allis made a good reliable tractor but went broke for some reason. We stuck with duetz had one of them and it was crude but reliable so we them bought agcos and I was never so happy to see them leave the last one just left three months ago and I have a family member who sells agco/Massey in my town and we drive 30 miles to get deeres so we know they can get fixed. We demoed CVT and Ivt tractors both were nice but felt weird to high horse power shift. I bought an 8320 new same time dad bought a Rt130 and Dt160 in which he wanted a Dt200. They turned the 160 up before we got it and agco rep gave us a 5yr 5k warranty to easy our minds he just needed to move that tractor? Dad felt he should do business with his brother. After over 100 warranty claims over 20 clutch pedals sensors after warranty ran out and then the tractor breaking the diff. In half and the wanted 20k to fix it we sold it to another dealer for ( listen up) 17k with a like new loader with grapple that was unhandy so we never used due to joystick only a really small hand could use. Rt130 left because it ran good for 8k hours then we overhauled and never balked at anything other than it being 5k higher than quote but the electric gremlins started and after dealing with them not fixing the three point after a 2k computer and some sensors and three trips to town it was replaced with 7800 with half as many hours we loved that 130 but just got tired of agco not supporting the service. I don't feel it's all dealers problem either agco doesn't hve near as many online techs on bulletin boards helping each other through problems like the Deere And case shops. BTW 8320 still on place only 2 warranty tickets and same hours as 160 had.AGCO NEEDS TO QUIT PUTTING OTHER BRANDS DOWN AND FOX THEIR OWN PROBLEMS. They tell the dealers such stories at sales events. I know first hand I have a Claas combine and they told my uncle and another dealer they had more cleaning area and had better performance than a Claas and they used to have Claas in the Massey and chose the gleaner combine. That was the best laugh I ever had! I told him you take a look at my combine and he did and didn't say a word. | |
