Hi all. Just became a member. Just traded in my Cub Cadet 7300 for a New Holland Boomer 40. I have had a few problems right from the start. First, I had to wait three weeks for a Backhoe attachment, New Holland closed a factory and they were on backorder forever. My dealer found one at another dealer, so they picked it up and put on my machine. First problem was that one control on the backhoe was backwards. Instead of the bucket curling, it dumped instead. Then I noticed that the bucket was not square, it was on a slight angle. Then I noticed the Hydraulic fluid leaking from the front end loader fittings. Keep in mind that I have not even used this thing yet. Also, all the seats are falling apart. They had a recall on them and are going to replace them as soon as they are in stock. Some communication issiues with the dealer did not help with my mood after all this. They sent a service guy out to fix the leak and the Backhoe control yesterday. I went out on my road today for 3 hours moving some stone. 2 hours into it I notice that I am leaking Hydraulic fluid again, from the same fittings. Another thing I noticed was the movement in the front loader when I was trying to backdrag a small pile of Item 4. I was moving about 6" of material to level it out. As soon as I hit the stone, my bucket moved about 2 or 3 inches. I don't know if that is from the quick deconnect bucket or there is air in the hydualics? Not a happy camper at this point with New Holland. Has anybody else had any problems like this? What are my options here? Can I tell the dealer I don't want this tractor anymore? I financed it with my Cub Cadet as a trade in. Thoughts anybody?
