My .02
I recently got my 1648 tractor with FEL stuck between two trees. I was in cutting in reverse using my RW60 cutter and had backed it up to a tree while turning, when I went to pull forward another tree had grown in front of my loader bucket. The top and bottom edge were equally as far forward and the tree had grown against both edges with both trees located at the right hand side of the tractor. The two trees had captured my tractor and wouldn't budge so I used my bucket to muscle my way back out.
I bent the FEL and damaged the hydraulics, it couldn't pick the bucket above the hood and the left side was a lot lower than the right.
I took it back to the dealer and the AGCO insurance policy covered my damages. They totaled the loader and I traded my tractor on a new to me 2615. My 1648 tractor is parked right next to a 2615 that is getting a new motor because that owner tore the oil filter off while bush hogging and ruined the engine. AGCO insurance is picking up that tab also.
