South Western Ontario | We have owned all three models if you consider a RT135 the same as a RT130. The 9745 has a very good motor with the SISU diesel, ours has 4800 hours on it and we purchased it used. The only problem we had was a pto sensor that pulled more current then required dropping the voltage on the transmission. This would occur when you were moving forward and using the PTO, when that happened the tractor would turn of the PTO. Took the dealer a few days to find it due to the nature of the unit. It would work fine when cold, but let it warm up and it would pull 15% more current then normal.....oh well. This engine is dynoed at 193 hp. This tractor replaced an Agco Allis 9650. Both of these tractors had teh 18speed power shift. On the 9650, there was a heavy shift between 9/10th gears. Now they are two hard shifts in 6/7th and 12/13th.
The 9435 was a 2WD model which we purchased new and used for 2800 hours. As people mention the 32 speed transmission is good. I wish it had more power shift gears when pulling hopper wagons out of the field onto the road. Engine was Detroit Diesel DT466, no problems with the engine. Our only problem was the automatic solenoid to turn the fuel pump on/off. It failed at 1950 hours. The engine was putting out 185 on the dyno and the transmission held up to it. The only problem with this motor was it used more fuel than a Sisu. We traded it as we wanted a MFWD tractor to replace it.
On the RT135 it has been an excellent tractor. We have 1400+ hours on it without any problems with the exception of bleeding the brakes after changing the hydraulic filter. First tractor that would put air in the brake system. Our unit has the 32mph CVT tranny with suspended front axle/cab. We put on 600hours/year and have no problems with it and would buy another one in a second. When the 9745 goes, we will get a RT150 or DT series with CVT to replace it.
