Having tradtor hauled.

[alafarm]

It leaked when it was less than 30 days, but I did not know they would haul it them for free. Also, it was only leaking a drop or two each time I used it, but the coolant leak it has developed leaked about a cup full last time I used it.

Are your tires full of liquid? If you take the backhoe off you should be around the 6200lb range now that I think about it. Oh that bucket will pop off to save a couple hundred also.

I still could not haul it with old tires, and this is a home made trailer. The guy that built it worked on tractor trailers. He built it like a tank. It is built out of 6 inch I beam with a 4 inch I beam tongue! Then he put 3500lb axles under it, go figure? It would haul a tank if it had the axles under it. I checked with a local trailer company about changing out the axles and they said, I would come out alot cheaper to sell it and buy a trailer. I have just been draging my feet. I wll probably just eat it this time and get me a trailer when I have time.

Sounds like the best bet

Alafarm, what tractor did you get? I'm confused.

I second this question.
What Mahindra do you have that weighs 8000 lb.

He has a 35series with loaded and backhoe. Totals up around 8k

At 25 miles away I would get me a slow moving vehicle sign, a cup of coffee, nice head phones and off I'd go. Ground speed is what 15 mph? Two hours and your there. At $100 one way, that is $50 an hour. I'd even do it with a smile on my face.

I would expect him to send a mechanic or a truck on HIS dime if it's warranty work! That's been my past experience with
(your not goin to like this part) A REAL DEALER NETWORK. Sorry, but JD & Kub. have done this for my warranty work.:confused3:

Not to say that all of these newer import dealers are not real dealership's with a real service dept. Or that there is anything wrong with these tractors. I just question the obligation required by these manufacturer's to become a dealership. The investment to "buy in" to a "big label" dealership is not for some guy that was selling used cars on that same lot last month. I've seen to many come & go, real quick.

 

[Navasot]

Import dealers? Were do you think Kubota comes from and the newer JDs are made?

 

[Navasot]

You think all of them pay for their customers warranty miles huh?
