Itta Bena Mississippi | The 1st generation Cats did have better rollers on the undercarraige, rode marginally better on the road, and the front window don't rattle during transport. It also has a small CI disposable engine that has to stay wound up to produce it's rated HP, SCVs that could make the Pope swear and the most inferior 3 point hitch for heavy draft work in a tractor it's class.
The problems I had with mine included shift solenoids that failed regularly and expensive draft control pins that also lacked durability. I spent more on repairs for this tractor than I did on 4 84x0s and 1 4755 combined from 2007-09 and it had fewer hrs than 3 of the JDs. I hope my situation was the exception, but it guaranteed that I won't be competing with everyone else in the yellow tractor market. Tom | |
