Yes. They are truly junk. The 8600 series anyhow, there is a reason they are so reasonably priced. Autosteer issues, cab suspension, rear remotes leaking, air condition way under par, electronic operating system on armrest is awful, have been hard fighting starting trouble forever on it, randomly derates power, I know I’m forgetting a lot.
It seems to be good on fuel and the CVT is nice but I don’t see the hype over case or Deere’s IVT, it’s not so much better to put up with the rest of the tractor. Only reason I bought it and own it today is because of the front 3 point and pto for triple mowers. Have a 8520 Deere with 11k hours that my guys will jump in before this one. I’ll be trading it on a magnum or 8R Deere if I can find one with front pto or 3 point. Thought about Fendt but I’m sick of Agco for awhile.
Service for Agco is terrible here to for large frame tractors and big Heston balers have found.
X2 on all of those issues.
If you want a tractor for triple mower, buy the Fendt. Everything on one stick is the cats ass for a triple mower. Unless you buy new/Tier 4F, you can't get an 8R with front PTO. A Magnum with Front PTO is a clubby SOB and if you haven't use that CVT much, you should try it before putting a mower on it. I can grow a beard before that thing shuttles. |
Typical Massey/Agco Junk, help please.
