My tractor is up to 22 hours and doing great.
A couple of glitches. My right front tire went flat, the tire place couldn't find the source.
Today while disking my tractor suddenly began to lose RPMs and then died. Nothing unusual was happening. It was very unexpected and without obvious cause. Engine temp, fuel, etc. were all normal.
I started up after a couple of minutes and it bogged down one more time but didn't completely quit. I kept disking for about 30 minutes after that and didn't have any further problems. I discussed with my dealer but I have no clear ideal of why it happened. I'm hoping its just a fluke.

Almost sounds like water or trash in the fuel, perhaps blocking the fuel filter.

Our MF240 had a problem like that. Ran great some of the time, couldn't move on it's own other times. We traced it to bad fuel filters. Ever since changing thee filters, no problems.
