| Thanks for all that info on the various models. Our 1896 did seem like an upgrade from the 1256 we were renting before and most of the time I don't even mind the 4 post rops but would like a cab for spraying with our airblast sprayer.
I'm guessing then performance wise a 1086 would be closer to the abilities of the 1896 then as opposed to the 986? I don't currently do a lot of pto work with it and the 3 pt work isn't real precise work either really.
As far as the 7120 it would be a huge upgrade but probably out of the budget unless I stumbled on a deal. So the 5240 would be a slightly improved version of the 1896 as far as tranny/electrical reliability? Loading tires would probably help decently I assume because mine aren't loaded.
Appreciate all the info on the 5088 because I actually hadn't sae them as an option. From the specs I saw if I'm remembering right would be decently larger than the 1896? But guess the plus would be it wouldn't be working very hard or need to be loaded down for traction. Were those transmissions pretty solid then since they weren't used very long (I assume the merger was the reason) or were they carried into other model lines? Are most parts still available because I know with the 1896 a lot of the electrical, power shift parts, and hydraulic stuff is starting to disappear? Are they a pain to work on/service? Hard to say since most of the pics show them all closed up with panels which also wondered if that made them prone to overheat?
Thanks again for all the info. Don't want to trade just for the sake of trading but the electrical/hydraulic mess on this thing just gets expensive quickly and hard to diagnose. | |
