I turned 104 hours on my 6000 4WD this weekend. I've had it about one year. Repairs: One FEL hydraulic connedtion required a "tighening", the power steering reservoir was replace under warranty due to a leak at the top of the reservoir (not a bad leak, but annoying-- only had to add a pint of fluid in 70 hours). I check the FEL frame mounts for loose bolts on a weekly basis as I've had 3 bolts (all on the right side) loosen a couple of time. I'm not worried about resale of this machine (as some folks make their purchase of a tractor based on how much they can get for it when it no longer fits them LOL) as its got mo' power/mo'traction/mo' FEL lift capacity than I'll ever need as it stands now.
Changed the oil filter at 22 hours and again at 57 hours
Set up as follows:
6000 4WD Synchro Shuttle shift
FEL Md 264 KMW w/ HD toothbar (bought thru Johnsons Auto)
Fluid filled rears tires (16.9 X 28) set up thru dealer

7ft HD BoxBlade (bought from Corriher)
