Buying Advice New Tractor Delivery Hour Meter

[Graybeard315]

Well, I'm sitting here waiting for a "New" 3320 ehydro cab tractor with FEL and MMM to be delivered,,, I paid CASH for it four weeks ago and the delivery has been promised for the last two weeks. Apparently JD is pretty crappy about parts (as noted in the dealers' reviews of manufacturers) getting to dealers. End of rant,,,

Back to the thread, I would expect my "New" tractor to have less than 5-10 hours on it. In this case, the dealer (AG Power) has included a four year 1000 hour service at my place in the deal so the first service is already taken care of. Just hope there onsite service is a helluva better than delivery!

Home Service might be some 15 year old Kid with a pair of Pliers and a Screwdriver. Just Kidding.

Mine had barely 1 hour when I got it. Definitely brand new!

Like said, you can not blame epa BS for high fuel use.

If it's injecting fuel into the exhaust, and igniting it to burn soot out of the DPF filter, one might figure it might use more fuel.

Great machine. Just wish it had more back end weight but that will come with a ballast box or box blade.

I'll never go back to shifting gears again.

Fuel usuage? Well, when you compare a 2 cylinder Yanmar (22hp at the PTO) to 3 cylinder (29.6hp at the PTO)
OK, I yield. It's gonna use more fuel.

I'll consider it the cost of the comfort and ease of newer equipment.

Hey, I even banged it up for the first time. Bent the driver's step on a trailer fender.
Forehead slap....Wasn't paying attention.

Loaned it out to my son for the first time yesterday. There was a GULP moment.
Watching her float away on a trailer destined to do someone else's work.

He's the one that'll take the torch from me anyway. It's time. Besides he's a licensed plumber.
He rents this stuff all the time from companies.

It's about time he uses his own equipment. It was in the back of my mind anyway when I bought
the root rake and third function valve kit on it.

I'll post some pix when it comes back in a day or so.

Thanx for letting me rant on, Guys!
I don't get online near enough anymore. Miss it sometimes.

Your way more trusting than me. I pay cash for my stuff as well, but not til it is in my hands.
They got your money, have they cashed the cheque yet ? Sometimes, if they didn,t already have your money, they might deliver the goods a little quicker, so they could get the cash. Out of curiosity, what happens IF they happen to close the doors, before you get your tractor. I,m thinking it might take forever to get your money back, IF ever.
Hope you get your new tractor soon.
