Sounds to me like you are screwed.
The dealer is full of BS. 8 hours of run time to "check it out'? That is a full day of operation. Mine arrived new with about 2 hours. The dealer has no reason to dyno a new tractor... The more they mess with it, the more opportunities they have to damage it before sale.
My guess would be that the prop shaft to the front diff has a U-joint cross that's lost a cap and the cross is flopping around within the 2 yokes.
Don't be cross, but the yoke is on you...
I am afraid you have your cucumber stuck in your ear if that is what it sounds like to you. It has been one business day.Sounds to me like you are screwed.
I would not involve an attorney at this point. You definitely should ask for money back or maybe ask if you can swap for the 4820C since you liked your Branson. The dealer might be willing to help do that. Everything you mentioned is under warranty and they should be willing to work with you.Probably should reach out to our attorney and see if we have grounds to ask for our money back as suggested earlier in the thread.
We bought the tractor on July 11, but it was not delivered until Aug 26...yeah, they were pretty slow. Took 6 weeks for TYM to get around to shipping the 3rd function kit.
Speaking of TYM...guys, I'm sorry but lets get real...they build really cheap stuff.
Here is the list of other issues this POS has with only 13 hours. 1. The seat tension knob is completely worthless. Cranked all the way up to max, when you sit on the seat you go to the floor, and I only weigh 200lb. At hour 8, it held me a little bit...now, 5 hours later, nothing. 2. The cab lights are not mounted level, they are all skewed. 3. The electronic displays shows half the info in English and half in metric. 4. The light "pod" in the console is so loose it is about to fall out of the console. You don't dare try to use it to turn on any lights for fear it will fall out...and there is no way to tighten it without ripping the entire console apart.
And now for the icing on the cake that I haven't even mentioned. The first time they tried to deliver it, the left door BLEW OFF on the interstate and went flying down the highway, totally disintegrating on impact. Very lucky no one was injured. Yes they had the door locked (found the still locked handle on the road) but my goodness....a tractor that loses a LOCKED door going down the highway?
If it wasn't so sad to have a $40,000 paperweight sitting in the barn I would actually be laughing about this tractor. It's like some toddlers put it together or something. It has to be some kind of sick joke.
