Can't complain about the transmission. The tractor has over 10000 hours on it. All the years we grew cotton finally took its toll as that is what put most of the hours on them. BUT when I get that repair bill, I would be glad to be ding that to that little JD You have instead of this tractor. Clutch pack is gonna be 3 grand right by itself. It will be a 5 or 6 thousand dollar job I bet.CF
Yes I know the big tractor for expensive to work on anything breaks down I don't put that many hours on my tractors I would never wear one out in the rest of my life cattle rancher that I know runs case tractors he caught one of his on fire I believe he picked up another one from the insurance good luck with your season this year.
