<font color=blue> When I started that thread it was not my intention to scare anyone away. It should not have happened, it is my impression that just this individual part was defective. Unit was repaired under warranty and has been operating just fine under the same intense FEL work loads as before.
<font color=black>Dave,
I'm glad to see you respond in this way. It is frustrating to spend hard earned dollars on a tractor and then have something happen to it like your scenario. It would be easy to be negative about the whole situation and then bad mouth your tractor/dealer/manufacturer. I think you took the high road. Glad your back in the seat and everything is going well. I hope you get 30 hours this week end !
