When they started building tractors like cars is when the downfall began. Anyone should know that electronics don't mix with dirt or moisture, the two things that every tractor must be in. My biggest problem seems to be with the cab. Nothing is mechanically engaged anymore. Why anyone would design an electronically engaged PTO is baffling to me.

TYM has a 5 year on all of their tractors.

I 100% agree on this one. This is one of the contributing factors as to why I have the Mahindra tractors that I have, mechanically engaged PTOs, Why would anybody design a PTO that slams into engagement using an electric operated solenoid? Answer, cost and engineers that have never ever operated a tractor in the real world let alone even been on one. All of the brands seem to have this problem with some of their models.

Not to shift blame back on you, but maybe you could have researched the 7010 a little better before you bought it, and maybe you would not have bought it after all. I know that they all look great when we look at them when they are new on the lot. I have glanced at the Montana version of the 7010 and just to take a quick look, it seemed like it was a pretty nice tractor. But as has been reported here on TBN, they have some weak spots.

Maybe trade up to the 8560 cab version when it comes out. It sounds like a few guys are going to do that in the future.

I hope that you can get your problems resolved and it doesn't take a lot of time and money.

Good luck
