| PeteMN - 2/18/2016 19:04 Maybe Agco should recall them and put in the updated controls/sensors, etc if it works so good now? Or does the tractor owner foot the bill for their trial and error engineering?
The tractor in question was built in 1998 and has 6200 hrs on it. Its dang near old enough to vote.
Do you really think AGCO should do anything other than provide parts and service at the tractor owners expense? Farmers have been footing the bill on trial and error engineering for as long as equipment companies have been selling equipment to farmers. Not everything fails while under warranty but that doesn't mean its a good design.
I wouldn't be scared of it at that price IF I had someone local to work on it that knew what they were working on. That is where you get into trouble with stuff other than green and red, you might have a hard time finding someone that has experience working on them.
With that said I'd have to ask why the OP wants to "upgrade". He's not really moving up in size. Might gain a few creature features but for the most part there isn't enough difference to spend any money trading those two and the newer one will almost certainly cost more to keep running, IMO.
