NH- weak frames,good shanks,too many linkages to wear,many small problems not changed in 20 years.
JD 2410s- we like accudepth,good steel in frames,need to do shank maintenance,but overall very happy with the wear, and especially like the field finish, we also like the narrow transport width on the roads we have that’s nice. We have 3 and JD has been good about updates and parts availability.
On the New Holland not being changed in 20 years: I am not aware of any company coming out with a frame that comes close to the ground contour following ability that the 830 has. Kind of ironic for Deere to brag up their depth control with electronics when the frame is not capable of doing what FlexiCoil has been doing for two decades. Correction: Mandako now has a prototype chisel plow that mimics the FlexiCoil.
I had a farmer on the yard this summer that was not happy with his 2410. When he saw our 830 he kind of verbalized his thoughts about why he had not purchased one. Seems he had problems with shanks falling off the unit. |
