Easy there......
I'm not an old timer. I'm at the end of the millennial generation which I hate being associated with to tell you the truth.
You're justifying that emissions equipment are ok if cared for correctly, yet don't offer an avenue for profit when those tractors get up in years and all of those parts become liabilities..... NO ONE WILL WANT THEM, and they will have terrible re-sale value. Same reason that the 7010 series tractors are worth almost as much with 9000 hours on the clock as they were NEW. That tells you right there where the demand is.
The warranty situation I was talking about was where an operator had problems with his newer series tractor, opened the hood to change his air filter because he knew it was bad, and within an hour he said the deere service truck was pulling into his driveway. He didn't call them, they just showed up because they knew the engine had "coded", told him that he had voided his warranty by opening the hood and trying to service his engine....
You cant buy a tractor and service it anymore?
As for the IVT, what a joke. It's the the fact it takes special tooling, it's the fact that Deere doesn't want ANYONE working on it. How can deere expect a customer to pay that much for a transmission repair? What was wrong with the quad range or powershift?
Just because Deere makes it doesn't mean it's great...........Anymore. The band loyalists make me sick, I buy what works, doesn't break down, I'm mechanical so I can keep older stuff running if it needs it. Any yes, the 7010 series were the peak before they went downhill.
All good points. And deere fan boy I am not in all honesty I'm an allis man but deere signs my pay checks. I personally have worked on two tractors with emissions that are run on big cattle operations. They both have over 10k hours and neither one has had but 1 or two minor issues which were both due to contaminates fluid.
The warranty situation in your case is no doubt a bad deal but it's in the warranty paperwork that nobody reads that doing that voids warranty. It seems dumb but case new Holland is the samessage way as is Agcoming.
Also deere still does make the power shift and the Ivt and ps both have pros and cons |
The JD "Expendable" 30 series vs new...... opinions?
