Hiw many tiimes has your tractor been in the shop?

[cat fever]

Kioti RX6620PS cab model.

Mine has not seen the shop/dealer since I bought it. 250 hours. I do all the minor/maintenance work.

Guess I'll be the odd man out. Currently at 300 hrs. Bought Jan 15 I think. Been in the shop 8 months out of the last 18, approx 20k in warranty work and dealer has put around 50 hrs on it testing it. There's a reason I ordered a new 5100e. This one has been a nightmare but I think all the bugs are worked out now.

Do you like the 240?

H240 loader is fine. It blew out both curl cylinders while digging some sand. That was a surprise. New tractor will be coming with the h260 though

Lol. When I read the title I figured I'd be the top loser in it. I love reading how many guys are having great luck and problem free tractors. I'm hoping I'll be able to come back in a year and mirror the comments about mine being problem free.

I honestly think mine is good now but at this point I can't trust it. It's already cost me a bunch of money in lost work this year so something had to change

Well, "been in the shop". I don't think any of my farmer friend's fleet of 8-10 tractors (some 40 years old) has been in a dealers shop. But they've been in his (large) shop many times.

My Kubota L4400 went back to the dealer a few days after I got it (10+ years ago) to replace a faulty o-ring in the rear remote. All other repairs have been done by me. Those were all due to rats, abuse or neglect. None due to poor workmanship or design.

That much trouble and you ordered a new Deere? :confused2:

Neither of my machines have been in a shop since I owned them but I'm thinking one day I will have the backhoe taken to the dealer to have the brake cylinders resealed. Taking that rear axle apart isn't on my list of things I want to tackle.

Yeah...my wife thinks I'm crazy. Dealer gave me what I paid for trade if I stayed with them. Decided to roll the dice and feel good about this one. It's made in america and feels like a whole different class of tractor. Time will tell!

Just had a conversation with a friend today about this. Seems your JD tractor may or may not be made in America. But it gets worse. May or may not be made in a multitude of countries dependent on model. I hate that. Not flaming JD at all. Many brands do this. Just hate to see JD do it.

I'm betting on you Brett. Here's hope that it all works out fine!!!!

My 5055e was built in India. My 5100e is built in Augusta Georgia....atleast I hope. Since I still have so much time maybe I need to check on a factory tour! Would be neat to see it come down the line
