My extended warranty ( and I was dumb not reading all the fine print ) didn't cover the condensation in the instrument panel, the frozen tilt wheel option, the sticky hydro pedal that wouldn't return to neutral or the good battery acid leak. The dealer wanted to " bring it in, fix everything, AND then submit it to New Holland for reinbursement ". I spoke with the rep and he said engine, drive line only. Even though they had problems with the above listed items they wouldn't budge.
My new 55 was supposed to be picked up three different times ( on their nickle ) for the block heater that wasn't installed and a thermostat because it never got out of the cold indication. Also they were supposed to check the hydraulic pressure because I felt it was a little under the rated pressure.
Well its been three years and nothing has happened but promises. The temp did improve according to the guage so I will buy another heater and thermostat when I change fluid this summer. I bought a liquid pressure guage and with a short piece of hose I should be able to check the hydraulic pressure.
The two things that really got my attention was running out of fuel 200' from the delivery truck and finding NO oil in the front axle. Now I know why there was no setup charge !
