Could Sell It For What I Paid Posted by Sequoyah101 on 04/18/2015

That is even with all we have done to it, although it does not have that many hours for these last six years. Feeding, baling, utility loader, 3.5 yard scraper, 10' offset disk, etc. is what we use it for. It handles the 15' FR-15 with ease and cuts some 3" junk!

Like most similar tractors, most of the hours are feeding cows in the winter when it gets bales and slogs out to feed almost every day. It is reasonable on fuel. It has the same engine as the JX80 we have that gets great fuel economy, but the turbo slurps fuel much faster; probably never more than 2.5 gallons per hour. It runs about spot on to the Nebraska Tractor test. It is no frills, comfortable, reliable and no computer!!!!

We have not had any problem after the shuttle shift lever broke off and had to disassemble and weld it back together. That linkage needs lubrication and could use bearing type connectors. When they ship the linkage gets a little corroded and sticky. After fixing that, we have had not another problem except the linkage still needs lube. It is a complicated pathway. The other problem we had was that the clutch linkage adjustment was installed backwards!!

The electrical connectors up in the headliner won't stay hooked up. We need to put tighter connectors there. The lights are great! You can work in a nice pool of light at night. AC is just OK but good enough for summer to be comfortable and avoid the dust of baling.

The cab is spacious. That is one reason I bought the tractor. Everything else with a cab just seemed cramped and tedious.

The loader has a problem, it apparently gets air in it and you have to recycle it to get it to hold position on the curl. I'm told this is because CaseIH is too cheap to put a regen circuit in it or something.

I wanted the larger tires, but didn't get them and am sort of happy we didn't since the CG is improved with the smaller tires.

It has some leaks, but these engines are pretty reliable.

Getting a battery is a bear. I gave up and just went with a commercial large truck battery and built a battery holder for it. I'm doing the same for almost all the equipment. Batteries are cheaper and have massive cranking amps. I'm making as many as possible standard.

These things seem to hold their value, so there must be something good about them.
