Ok guys, we are in the market for a tractor around the 270 - 300hp mark. We have come across a Case MX270 which has low hours for its age.
Since we haven't had much to do with them we have some questions.
Basically I would like to know how reliable they are? We would most likely be keeping it for a few years so reliability is a big factor in our purchase. I have a freind who has an MX240 and he has had a few problems with it including catching fire twice. Do these tractors have reliability issues?
What are the common problems with them?
What are the standard features like? They seem relatively basic from what I have read. We are going to check it out in a couple of days.
What else do I need to know about them? Feel free to give your opinion on them.
One of the other tractors we are looking at is a McCormick ZTX280 with similar hours but it is probably about 6 years newer and is cheaper but we have concerns about resale and brand perception.
Thanks in advance.
