NY | Mine is in the running for worst tractor on the farm. Constant problems, more money into it than it's worth. And even when it's reliable I'd rather run an older Genesis. The fuel tank is too small for the amount of fuel it burns, it burns fuel like a 350 but only pulls like a 250 Deere or Case. The hydraulic electric controls are trash, worse than using levers. And it doesn't weigh enough in the rear end. Even with wheel weights and loaded tires, the back end slides around when pulling hard. It runs hot, so you're constantly listening to the fan clutch running, and it blows all that hot air right back onto the front of the cab so it gets warm in there and all your railings get hot to the touch. The air conditioning is cold, but still only blows on your face so your back gets sweaty.
Basically all the same negatives of the Genesis series with more issues from running too big of an engine for what the chassis was designed for. | |
