The OP has ‘t been active here since 2020. We probably won’t know how it all turned out.
Yep; gotta wonder what he eventually did!The OP has ‘t been active here since 2020. We probably won’t know how it all turned out.
Sounds maybe like the dealership.The dealer has been fixing most of the problems as they arise. The problem is, they continue to arise. The down time throughout the planting season caused me to not get my crop planted when conditions were good. I attempted planting in the mud. This failed.
The dealer would not send a loaner even after I requested one. The dealer also has not offered to take it back,trade or refund.
Finally when my neighbor finished planting he lent me his tractor. To late in the season to accomplish anything.
Good commentary. I have heard legitimate complaints from buyers of essentially every major tractor brand. Early in my ownership of a MF brand new in 2011 I thought mine was a lemon and that AGCO was the worst on the face of the earth. BUT, eventually AGCO made everything right, the tractor has been great ever since, AND I have heard very bad complaints against John Deere, New Holland and others. The bottom line I am seeing is that you cannot plan on a brand new tractor being flawless anywhere near like you can a car or truck. I think a lot of that is "numbers" in that the volume of trucks and cars is so much greater than tractors.Sounds maybe like the dealership.
I have a 4707 with having a few bugs it's aggravating as much as they cost you would think it would be flawless but as everything else these days too many electronics. But in saying that it's in every brand ... I've had a couple issues but my dealer quickly addressed and communicated well during the process.
