Good news on 1030 power problem.

[Scaper]

That poo eatin grin is back on my face. Got a call from the dealer today stating they had the lack of power problem fixed. So off to the shop I went after work today. Seems the fuel filter was clogged from tank debris when the tank was made. They drained the fuel (full tank) flushed the tank and changed the filter and filled her up who new fossel fuel. Ran the unit on the dyno and wala the engine was where it should be power wise. I did run it into a large pile of 57 stone and it dug in to full capacity of the 54 inch bucket and then all four wheels started to spin and continued to dig as if it wanted more. Wow what a differance from two days ago. Seems almost beastly in the power department now. Dealer stated that on the PTO dyno it showed way more then they claim on paper. Thats good to hear. Well Ag Industrial in Rising Sun Maryland did come through for me and I sincerely thank Jeff Jackson and the crew for their concern and help getting through this since I do love the unit. They are bringing it back tomorrow. They also sold me the grille guard at cost $210 so thats on the way. Thanks to all who helped with opinions. I'll post some pictures soon. Scaper (Mark)

Good to hear that your dealer took care of you. The debris was not from the tank manufacturing process but who knows from where. Regardless, its take care of.

actually it is we see it a lot especially on smaller tractors. it is small pieces of black plastic from the inside of the tank. easy fix though
