| That's the concern partly on going too new is ending up with someone else's problem due to budget. Honestly the powershift doesn't get used a lot on our farm like the design was intended. By that I mean we don't spend much time on the road or doing things that require a lot of speed changes. I typically have a few gears that we do most things in so a basic gear or shuttle transmission isn't terrible in our case and possibly more reliable.
I have liked the thousand series Fords but have never driven one with the dual power. What's the "crash box" just the 8 speed? I have also never driven the TW series but they look like they would be pretty good tractors. Is the digital dash the biggest difference between series 1 and 2?
On the ones you listed how are the cabs? I don't need anything really nice but only cab tractor we used on our farm was a IH 1256 with the year round cab I think it was called with no insulation heat or air. Just would like something for when I spray but don't want to go deaf doing tillage work. Does the a/c work decent in them or can they be fixed reasonably? Are most parts still available for them or a lot of stuff getting harder to come by?
Thanks | |
