Warranty is a good thing

[joes_427_vette]

My TC 45D goes in for service next week. Most of the problems I have read on this site seem to have found my machine. The tilt and telescope, low engine heat, forward hydro sticks, the dash fogs up, and the hydraulic leaks down after a few minutes. What did I miss or should I have checked? Only 1 year left on the clock. Next additions are bucket teeth and a grille guard.

Indeed "Warranty is a good thing" for any item in which we purchase today..tool for the consumer rights.

What? No broken joystick... no battery acid spill... no sticky 3PH lever? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Your problems are just beginning. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Seriously, good luck with your repairs. Keep an eye out for those other little "quirks." /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Toothbar?... Grill guard?... YES!
You will love both of them. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Chin up, just think how much better that you are going to love that TC-45D after you get all the bugs worked out of it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Your New Holland really is a fine machine.......

Which hydros leak down? My FEL leaks down pretty quick, but my 3PH stays up for days on end.

Well................ in the old days warranty was a great thing, now I am wondering. My TC is on the extended warranty and sorry to say only the drive train is covered. They will fix everything for a nominal $72.25 per hour however. After this lesson why would anyone pay New Holland $960.00 for extra protection? Oh yes, the tilt steering problem... 3 1/2 hours labor and $289.00 for the assembly. The service manager admitted the problems are quite common but only covered for 24 months. One other tib bit I learned, from the factory they set the hydraulic pressure at 1500#. It is supposed to be 22-2300# which explains why the hydraulics are weak. He also said the bucket rams have a habit of bad o rings which causes leaking from one side to the other explaining the spongy movement of the bucket after several hours. Bad seals cause the dash fog... solution buy a new instrument cluster. ( didn't ask, don't want to know the cost ) @ 72.25 per hour I can buy alot of service manuals.

If these are known problems and they did not look or tell you while you were under the manufactures warrentee, I might have a chat with the manager and ask why not. Sounds like the start of a class action?

jinman; now that you have mentioned the battery and the joystick, should I just order them so the parts are in stock? Now I know what to save the next check for..... thanks
