I really don’t think he is crying, just stating the truth. I feel exactly the same way and have for a few years now. For the last 10 or 15 years I have had very very few-problems on any tractor or combine mechanically, they have all been electronic that I have to pay $130- $150/ hr for someone to come out and analyze. In one case just last fall I spent over $5000 and a day replacing parts that the seasoned analyst couldn’t find only to unplug two computers, wait 5 minutes, then plug them right back in. These things have become way too sophisticated electronically for some of the simple ass jobs that they do. We didn’t have to reinvent the wheel here.


Yup perfect way sum it up right here. I sometimes wonder who is wanting all this crap. I know emissions has been the cause of some of it but some of these new tractors look like space ships what is the point.

I have been fighting an ATC on a MX 285 tractor. 700 dollars later still not fixed and I have done most all work myself it could.
