Very impressive, those are hills. How many hrs on the 865? Many problems other than reaction arms?


Only one set of reaction arm bearings. It had just over 900 rental hours on it when we bought it. It had slight traces of metal and got to about 2700 hours before replacement. It is now at 5800 hours and looking good so far. Most annoying issue is the hydraulic remote modules that go out every couple years. About $800 for the module just over $300 for labor and $275 for travel to program its address into the tractor and that is splitting the expense with another person. That is part is the reason we added a quad track to compare the two for down the road. Even the dealership isn't impressed with the V12 engines and really talking up the next series with major changes with the MAN engine and CVT. We all know the C18 is great and it would take a lot to remove it from our line up.
