What do you like least about your tractor?

ast about your tractor?

The plastic might scratch but it won't rust after it scratches like metal will,it will stand some impact before it breaks where as you bend the metal then you have an ugly old dent you have to look at,the plastic they make today is stronger than a lot of metals,not to mention being lighter as well.

I don't have much like for the engine cover panels. I suppose it is easier to replace if one gets torn up, but a minor pain to take off. The front cowl is a bit of a chinese puzzle also.
I'd like to see the filters relocated
The paint on the tractor is cheap. The loader paint is bulletproof, what gives with that?
Most complaints I have are petty, the performance is heartwarming to say the least.

This is an easy one... The 3pt hitch system is the most un user friendly device I've ever seen. This should really be something that one person can hook-up a implement in 3 minutes or less with only getting off the tractor one time(or less)!

Besides that one, the comments on the B2400 levers already cost me 3 pairs of shorts pockets that riped when dismounting it.

I don't like the stiff hydraulic lift control on my New Holland TC45D. It's impossible to feather the lift without overcompensating./w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif Almost any '40s tractor is better than that. It's engineering for appearance rather than function that has NH in trouble there, I think.

My B6200 HST came with a custom made FEL and the bucket doesn't roll back far enough. Also the controls are on the left hand side and has two levers instead of a joystick. With a little time and $$ these can probably be re-engineered.

Have a TC40D and what I like least is the seat. Love the arms, swivel, adjustment for operator weight, just don't like that black color as it gets too hot. After a couple hours of seat time the back of my pants are soaked. Wouldn't be so bad if I could occassionally stand up while "tractoring" but I can't as the seat has that safety switch. Seriously considering disabling the safety so that I can stretch occasionally and let my pants dry...

It has more plastic on it then I like. Sunlight, UY rays I guess, are really hard on plastic. The steering wheel on some older tractors will attest to that.

I have a JD 670. One of the characteristics I like is that it incorporates components used on larger tractors of the 70 series and is very heavy duty. However, the parking brake is a joke. The ratchet consists of a thin little piece of metal with tiny teeth. I have only a little more than 200 hours on the tractor, but the teeth are gone--worn right off. You also have to take apart several things to replace this part. I'm going to start carrying an anchor. One more thing: many of the pictures in the owner's manual don't match my tractor. I read up on how to do something and then can't find the parts on the tractor. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!
