Sent this email to JD. No answer yet but wondered if you think I'm being too picky? I'll let you know if/when JD responds.
I bought a new 790 with loader, box blade and front blade last year. It now has 50 hours on it. I live at 8600 feet and it will not start unless I use the block heater or the intake heat. Last night my block heater burned up and I've ordered another one for $60. Now the dealer is telling me it probably needs to have the timing changed and it is going to be big $'s to get that done as I'm 90 minutes from the closest dealer. I think it is outrageous that I buy a brand new tractor and it won't start in any temperature w/o a cold starting aid which burned up in less than a year. Is JD interesting in somehow making this good?
