I Still Hate My Tractor II

[Industrial Toys]

Typical! Seems it's always the fancy crap that Deere comes up with that fails, first!

Yeah! Front remotes on our 6200 cannot be activated/depressurized without the tractor running. That's been an aggrivation from time to time. If I just turn on thekey, I can hear the valves clicking on the valve stack, but it does no good without the tractror running. We have some really strange OEM ball type valves, with what looks like draim holes, on the front of our loader remotes that are supposed to relieve pressure, but I have never seen them drip oil, so how do they relieve pressure? Really, I don't think they do anything! Just another fancy IDEA of Deere's that doesn't work in the REAL world!

Well it's been a good Winter for the machine. It starts, runs well and has been there for me every time I needed it to blow the 140 inches we had this Winter. I should stop bitching right? My good friend down the road bought a new 2013 Deere 4320 cab last Fall. It has 25 hours on it. Last weekend he brought it by my place because he was unable to connect the 3rd function hoses to his new Frost-Bite grapple (nice product by the way). It has a super funky line setup (all Deere) that uses an electric solenoid at the rear of the tractor, then hoses going forward to the loader frame. It turns out he couldn't release line pressure. I turned the key on engine off then cycled the 3rd function buttons but still no clickety click of the solenoid at the rear, Turns out you must have the engine running to get power to that solenoid making it useless to try that method of removing hose pressure. Finally found the manual bleed off valve in the rear so we were able to connect the hoses. Also the door stays (stops if I may) are wimpy cables and not gas cylinders like the Botas have. He said one day he got home from work and one door laid on the ground after a wind storm, both hinges were broken clean off as was the flimsy cable. Dealer came and collected over-priced ($43K) machine and warrantied the hinges. He tells me this is the smallest USA tractor Deere makes, I wasn't too impressed with some of the machine although he likes it. Rear wheels welded not bolted so making fine adjustments to the width is not possible. The only width adjustment is done by swapping wheels left and right. Fred, always bitchin' about something.

Glad you are finally seeing the light! (0:

I STILL HATE MY TRACTOR!!!!
I hate Kubota, I hate R4s and if it wasn't for my turbo setup I wouldn't even be able to spin a tire on this piece of absolute junk.

Fred, ready for a few beers

Just a little mire spinnun/diggun, and you could
have buried all your problems right there

Deflate your rear tires to 4PSI, shovel most of that trailer load of dirt to the back of that trailer, lift your bucket a couple inches and drive out of there.

You're in VT too. PM me your address, and I'll come over, take the tractor, trailer, and the mud off your hands no charge. Mud in the right quantities humbles all machinery. Please keep being furious at the tractor, never yourself. This way I can get your entire rig, FREE!

I'd give my left one for your setup. You should buy any other brand tractor, EXCEPT Kioti, so we're not reading another misguided brand slam.:confused3:

Seriously, though, if you were a student of cognitive behavioral therapy you'd know that one is constantly disappointed if one's expectations are set too high. Solution: adjust them to reality, be more satisfied in life. Or, keep them where they are and blame the world for you're being stuck in the mud. Your choice.
Would tomorrow be a good time to come by?:laughing:

Hate is strong word.

There are few things I truly hate, evil and dishonesty come to mind.

Seems a shame to get all lathered up over some inanimate object.

CN: shade tree mechanic buys tractor and has problems no one else has. So adds on his own turbo setup, can't get rid of tractor because upside down on loan, starts at least three threads about it, hilarity ensues.

He's also said he's a Subaru mechanic in VT: I immediately called my relatives and told them, "Make sure your mechanic isn't named Fred!"

First closed thread.
