It gets worse
Now the TN (which had the pinched line) went down today. Fuel starvation problem. They fiddled with it for 1/2 an hour, cuoldn't get it (and I already replaced the fuel filter (which was clean). Probably the tank has to come out. AT least it has 60+ hours on it though.
The TC45DA (cab) which I bought new locally has a grand total of 9 hours on it in 3 weeks. I've had it for a grand total of 5 of those days. The rest of hte time it's been at the shop.
Started with blowing a fuse when you used cruise control, that turned into an entire wiring harness replacement.
Then the top of the transmission housing had a leak, so that got replaced. (the transmission housing)
It overheated (still does, runs very hot, now they think it's the gauge, because they replaced the sender)
Then, after finally getting that back, I take it out to another job and while the cruise control works, it slowly drops down so you are doing about 1mph (not what you set it at), esp if you hit a bump
And, the position control doesn't stay in position.
So, I take it over, they say, can you live without CC for a day, i say sure, they say bring it in tomorrow, so I take it to the next job.
Where it proceeds to lose rabbit/turtle (would not shift up) and would barely get out of it's own way. Literally crawling up this hill, turtle-1 gear and wouldn't do more than like 1mph, black smoke pouring out. 45hp tractor shouldn't slow down pulling a 6' shredder up a hill. My massey might struggle, but it's only 33hp and it still would have gone faster.
Beyond livid. I've given up, I"ve told them to get the rep and either get me my money back or get me a new tractor, because that one is a complete piece.
BTW, my MF 1433, that I bought in OK, that cost 1/2 what this TC45 does, has 360 hours on it and has had a grand total of 1 thing go wrong with it. (PTO switch died, $50 repair)
I'm starting to not like NH's.
