Thor Couldn't agree with you more, Tony, Must be nice having the biggest best and newest equipment around.... From the very happy owner of a 1644 that I'm planning on running for quite some time....
tried, done it all. as well as case drain checks dyno on the feeder temp checks I assure you it's no adjustment. All the pumps and motors are borderline on case drain. it's fine if your just setting when you put her in the field the problem starts control will drop 80-90 lbs from a stand still to moving in the field somewhere their is something really messed up. TSG, some engineer in racine, and who knows else can't figure out.
I remember not all that long ago our beloved Farmertony put on this site " 8010 ,8010 come out, come out wherever you are " what a childish thing to say , well you wanted this so bad, live with it , get a life ! I hope this doesn't ruin your great family's reputation oh mighty one !
must be nice to live in the simple past. no inovation, nothing ventured nothing gained. wait for the neighbors to do it several years. do you use fertilizer or hybred seedIJ heaven forbid RR beans or BT corn. cabs on your tractorsIJ my dad had the first one around here in 1963. MFD tractors-not proven Radial tires-don't know tracks - heaven forbid who needs that. something to ponder over your coffee
Ever notice that Farmertony (whoever this may or may not be) AlWAYS dodges the question of where he lives! Where do you live, we would like to visit youIJ Who is your servicing and selling dealer TonyIJIJIJ
You are right!!. Nothing ventured nothing gained. No innovation. For us, no trouble, no payments. THe only trouble we had during our milo, soybean, and corn harvest was a pin slipped out on the clean grain elevator. It may be older, but it is payed for.
Farmertony have you or your techs tryed a different type or brand of oil in the systemIJ I dont know what elevation above sea level you are, but atmospheric pressure does effect the way oil will react under a vacuumn. In other words, I wonder if your machine is having a problem with cavitation at the main tank. It wont be noticable as cavitation, but it will be inconsistent like some of the symtems you describe. Its just a thought, I dont know if it has been tryed.
Does anyone know the current production numbers for the 8010, how many our out in the field. I think Farmertony has had a bad experience with his. It would be nice to hear from others about the performance of this machine. Surely someone is having a good experience. Farmertony may have good reasons for being so frustraited but at the same time he is not helping the re-sale value of his machine, that may be the reason he is not sharing his location.
Easy Fellas, I don't see any need for name calling. If Tony can make the payments more power to him. It makes everybody mad when you can't make a piece of equipment run. The one common thread between all equipment is it breaks.
