I've got 600+ Hrs on our 3037 and after the initial break-in (Owner Education Period), it's performed flawlessly.
There was the obligatory leaking fuel tank {Warranty Coverage}. I hear quite a few guys had that issue, as well as our unit.
There was one time where a wire from the cruise control module grounded to the exhaust manifold. Causing a ground short. {Simple zip tie fix}
The biggest issue I as an owner had was getting used to running 2000+ RPMs when doing anything. {After warm up}
Running less RPMs causes all kinds of problems with the DPF cycle, I've found.
In my case, the dealer from whom we purchased the tractor folded shortly after our purchase.
Which now meant any and all warranty work incurred a $300 round trip pick and delivery fee.
Nice dealer down here in Ocala, Florida, BTW. They're just 30+ miles away.
Besides, I really like doing my own PM work. I'm just funny that way, I guess.
Would I buy another one? Even with my dealer being 30 miles away, of course.
I've gotten such service and literally worked this thing to a point where I wouldn't blame it, even if it did break down.
It's given me almost 600 hours of superior service without so much as a hiccup.
Mind you, I had some nightmares learning everything there was to learn but, all in all, it's a great machine.
Priced under most of or all of it's competitors. Which enabled us to purchase more 3 pt and FEL attachments with the variance.
I don't need to fund the John Deere, Kubota, Kioti or New Holland warehouse grid, their huge sales team or their vacations, for that matter.
