Hey guys, lighten up. IF it falls flat on its face you can crow then, IF NOT, you will now be eating crow. Sure they had tons of problems last fall but hopefully they corrected most of them by now. I have green blood in my veins but there are features on the 8010 that I would like to have and others that look interesting if they hold up. I have been in the field with them all and none of them are good enough for the prices the companies charge. Many new things on 8010 look promising, many others look like a nightmare to work on, including that rats nest of hydraulic lines on the left rear of the machine. Time will tell, we will be watching closely with an eye on trading a pair of JD 9750s for SOMETHING in the next year or so. like the job the Deeres do in the field but expensive to keep them together(lots of high wear parts that do not seem to hold up as long as I expect them to for the cost). Oh well, to each his own, just my 2 cents worth.
