Nortac 35xt Summit Ford 800
Had the Summit for a week. Not Really using it much. I t Works Fine in the High Gear Setting. Put the leaver In Low ( The Big Red R) Hit Forward are Back ward. Jumps Out immediately . I can Hold it in But The Summint Makes a Grinding sound that would Scare Off Godzilla. Got Hold Of Summit I was told the Nearest Repair shop was in Canton TX 15 Miles I said OK Got online to rent a tractor the called the Repair Shop. Bamm Told they dont work on Summit. Called off the Trailer. I will have to pick a day to travel with this after I locate a repair shop. So far it hasn't done five min of work. 20K for something I will have to work on. At least the 35XT is out of shop. I was going to get rid of it Now it will be kept as primary. Really Summit QC these before we buy them.

Yep, that sucks.
As little as you probably used it, I would think the corporate people would be all over trying to get that back to a shop to diagnose the issue.
Keep us posted on this please.
