Hi All,
I have been working with my dealer to remedy the 3pt hitch tire clearance issue via replacement arms. My dealer has been exceptional in working with me on this however, we have hit a snag. He has been told by Deere that the arms are not currently a recall program because JD has "only received a few complaints from owners". He is still trying to get them as a warranty item however, he doesn't see them as going through as that.
Now the last thing I can afford to do is to drop 600 bucks to fix something that was an issue out of the box. So, that being said, now is the time for all of us to call Deere and let them know we are having this issue. If a high enough % of owners call and voice the issue, we should be able to get them to foot a recall on this issue.
The number to call is in your owners manual. Please be polite to the person on the phone, they are only taking the calls and filling out a form.
