I agree 100%! Most that buy the utility size tractors like this will never have a need for a remote hydraulic circuit. I feel that what they put on at factory level is the lowest cost option to make the sales flyer look good.

I think that guy is a spammer. Notice he has been a registered member for over a year and his first post was just a sarcastic comment that added nothing of value to the thread. I see those guys a lot on another forum I am on. I also just got an MT242HC and am working on an answer for you...

Member since 2011 and it took 13 years for your first post? All to bash a tractor? Do you even own a 468?

Ok Fellas, a little update. Sent the MT240 down the road an bought a brand new MT242HC Premium. This is SO much more tractor than the 240 was in both function and features even putting the cab aside. This is my first cab tractor and I'll have to say, not eating dust is pretty nice! The work...

Delete me? Naw, I'm ok being here.

I bought the tractor from WCT in Strafford. A few years ago when I started looking for a replacement tractor I stopped in there to take a peek at the bright blue tractors they had lined up out front. They were really busy that day. The sales guy came out and welcome me. Told him it was going...

I'm highly anticipating the new MT 242. Once my dealer gets one in stock I'm going to look at it. They said late July would probably be when they will see them. Things I'm excited for: 4cyl non-turbo engine. Bosch injection. 11 gallon fuel tank. Substantial loader lift increase. Offering R14...

Gregg Abbott in Jackson. What area of MO are you headed?

Ok fellas, so it's a long story over 18 months in the making but I wanted to have all the facts straight before I posted anything else on the squealing noise on startup. About a week after my previous post on 10/10/22 the tractor was right back to squealing on startup again. Contacted the...

I'll have to ask him.

Thanks for the replies guys! Gives me some things to check before I let it sit on the dealers lot.

My FIL was using my tractor moving some hay around and he said it lost throttle (went to idle) and no matter where he put the throttle it had no response. He shut it off and started it back up and everything was fine. He states there where no warning lights on the dash during any of it. I...

I got lucky on eBay a few years ago.

Got my tractor back! The two sealing washers on suction line for the hydro unit were leaking air. Did not have to split the tractor. Just pulled the floorpan off for access. So far I haven't heard the noise. Noise only happens when it's warm ambient outside. Supposed to be about 80 today so...

Update on my tractor. The dealership has been able to duplicate the noise several times. All their testing shows the next step is to split the tractor and check inside. Dealer has a few big jobs a head of me still so 2-3 weeks till it's split and we'll go from there.
