East of Broken Bow | Another thought on service: It uses the same filters as the 86 series as far as fuel, oil and hydraulic filters. It has an additional spin on hydraulic filter that is the same as the spin on one on the very latest models of the 86 series. Parts have been easy to get, and they have more aftermarket support than you'd expect for only being made a few years, but that might be because a lot of parts interchange with other models.
In my opinion, they are an upgrade from the 86 series:
The T/A has been replaced with a true 2 speed powershift, MUCH more reliable.
Dry clutch replaced with a wet clutch.
Better hydraulics.
Better transmission overall - 18 forward speeds instead of 16 but the big improvement is that all forward gears are synchronized, and they shift very well on the go, both between gears as well as between ranges.
Instead of a complex MCV valve that controls oil flow between the T/A, steering, brakes and lube, the 5088 has a separate tranny lube pump so if a line or seal blows in the shift mechanism, brakes or steering it will not starve the tranny bearings for oil.
Planetary final drive instead of pinion and bull gear.
Those are the main things I can think of off the top of my head. | |
