Gotta get this off my chest..
I’ve been worried that I’ll break my xd 3025h because of the oil leak recall issue. I have under 20 hours on my machine and have been terrified that I’ll have a mess if it breaks. I have no trailer and the nearest dealer is over an hour away.
I decided that I’m not going to live with a potential engine killer after realizing that I might have no problems until the warranty is over. Then what if it fails after this? I’m screwed with a young tractor and a dead motor! For peace of mind I decided to trade in in for a new MT225HE for $3k plus tax. I said the **** with it and tacked on a backhoe too. I mean.. Who doesn’t want a backhoe? Well, now I’m shelling out $9k! I mean, I cannot take the money with me!
I figured that $3k for the upgrade price and piece of mind as I age is worth it as the money won’t be missed by the time I retire (10 years?) and really start to use this machine if not sooner.
Thanks for letting me ramble on... I’m trying to justify this madness with a group of tractor junkies that will most likely agree with my decision!!
. Penny wise, and dollar foolish....
