Subject: ELECTRONIC LUXURY



Yorktown, TX
It causes higher repair bills, WANT for something new, and for us a large amount of problems (hence the not wanting warranty to run out). We used to buy the premium JD's, and now we buy plain jane. Not the 03 series, but the 15 series seemed to fit our bill (lots of hay work), and now it is the 30 "non premium". Tractors have gone where cars and trucks have gone. There is too much junk on them. Some people want it and some people don't. We don't and have cut back our new purchases and now go back to the "proven" with low hours to maintain like a 55 series JD or an 8900 series Magnum instead of the MX's. Even these tractors have their electronic glitches every now and then.
