Massey Ferguson 4608 Lethal defects

[Coyote machine]

I ma starting to think you 2 should friend each other on Facebook or something.....

Oh, snap. Me thinks you could figure out how to write in English if given enough years to figure it out; but contributing something useful to this thread, not too likely.:shocked:
Better go play in the dirt and try not to hit your head again, you know what the doc said about multiple concussions causing brain damage...

Coyote Machine,
Sorry Matey sometimes this thing tells me when someone has made an entry into it, and obviously other times nothing at all, so I have not been in to check.

I really think Jeepcj7 needs a big Cuddle cause he is getting Jealous :laughing:

Seriously to all of you, I know it seems painful and its a awefull lot of reading, but the lessons learned will save Many People Many thousands of dollars in the future, as well as My sincere wish is that we get better and safer Products that are backed up as they should be, those doing the wrong things by Customers, are brought into the light and those doing bad things end up without customers. Your Safety is important to me and that of your Families.

Seems like progress, I suppose, though difficult to know what the outcome will be, and when...

At least the tractor played up and gave the big brains an education. Generally Murphy makes an appearance and you are left looking a fool.

Re the brake pedal beings on the floor after testing, I hope that will be included in the repairs as they did the damage, not you.

Lastly to make things more readable, each time you number a new point hit "enter" key twice to leave a blank line between each point. It is easy to get lost in a large block of text.

Coyote machine, how do you write in blue text?

Thanks redman135 I really appreciate all you guys helping out, Ah Matey there is to much wrong with it to not see, but I did have that lump in my throat in anticipation. They are talking about replacing it as it's honestly a write off as they have no idea where to start, But they offended me already by sending the dealer to sniff me out, Instead of Manning up and talking to me directly with a proper offer.

I have written out a response with the acceptable terms to me so will see next week what comes back but I knew they would write it off because they have no idea with the steering and the Binding they do know would mean they have to split the Tractor again and why pay a dealer to do all that when you are not going to get anything from it.

I will let you all know how it goes from here but that is where we are at.

Coyote machine, how do you write in blue text?

Highlight text you want to change from the default black text, then above the window in which you type your reply text is a header. It includes things like a big letter A. Click on that letter's arrow and a menu will drop down. Select the color your want to color the text and click it. The text will then show coding marks and will be the color you selected when you post your reply. To color multiple sections of text the same color, highlight the next section and just click the header's big letter A, NOT the arrow next to it, and whatever color is showing that you previously selected will be used. To change to a different color repeat the process.

Sorry mate for the hijack of your thread...

Hey Coyote Machine is Jeep one of your Groupies LOL.

Matey it has progressed, they are talking about wanting to replace the Tractor just they asked the dealer to sniff me out on it and that offends me as he can't authorize what they will need to come up with to end it.

The difference with this is its actually the nature of the defects that means they cannot economically repair it, They are clueless as to the causes of the faults and random nature means they can repair and send back and you know what happens next its back again so they want out of it, or they want away from me, Either way I am happy to do a deal so I have given them 3 happy options and will let you know how they want to go forward from here, but it has definately improved a great deal. The Binding alone I believe they have taken on board my findings and that is it's internally something put together wrong but that is really costly to pull it apart and then put it back together hoping they find it, and even if the do I really doubt if they will send the bill to the Dealer.

But anyway that is the update and I am happy, and looking forward to next week, the Solicitors advice is very handy and its not expensive, as well they are looking at a new tractor means we are on the same page now.

Good news for sure. If they're smart they'll get you out from under it, and you can shift to a Kioti, hopefully. That's what I'm wishing for you for a positive outcome. Maybe by having a solicitor in the mix they will take you more seriously; who knows what floats their raft?!

Regardless of what happens going forward remain cool and you will have won most of the battle(s) if not the entire war!:thumbsup:

Re: Jeep guy- can you say Troll :confused2:

Nah I am not one to get to stressed, it will work out fine in the end, But see that is where they have me a little trapped, they obviously will only replace it with another Massey Ferguson and I have given them a couple of options to consider, but see any of the new Tractors above it will be a huge step forward because if I needed to I could sell out of it, but as it stands I have a tractor I can't even sell.
If I get one of the options I will be happy with the result, it really depends on how they see the future going is what will dictate how nice and happy I am, Hey if the go for Option one I will be saying nice things LOL and Option 3 well I will be ok just not Shooting beers LOL
As Far as Tractors go this is as important a thread as any because it will truly show how they conduct themselves, which means if the want good relations or they really don't care what anyone thinks.
So this gives them a chance for a clean slate which is a big thing, But if they really don't care then it helps you decide who you support in the future.
It also means that teaching people how to actually get a settlement as opposed to just walking away empty handed as most people do will be a massive thing in the future, I have played this a few ways and tested their response as its easy to say **** your to aggressive they won't give you anything, when the truth is they were planning to give nothing until they realize your not going and you mean business, They win far to many times with people, The Key is to make sure your holding the brick in your hand before you clip the ears lol and do it by the numbers, one step at a time as you gather your correspondence trail.

So here is an update on this Tractor and where we are up to. I have had legal advice that I have a duty of care to help People to understand what constitutes Dangerous defects and what you need to do.
