900 not many issue last year or so. Linkage wouldnt work on draft from day1 which was embarrassment id say.
Its had Air Compressor replaced, leaking oil out its shaft down side of engine.
Both Manual Spools cables all replaced they were stiff as hell from new & new front grill (Rust) , Cab fan coz there all crap & thats about it so far oh & a brake mod.
good overall Tractor to be honest. its a 190hp the 30hp boost is only available on the road & heavy pto work so far for me.
Shame it wasnt when pulling cultivators tho.

The track settings are set narrow and front wheel steering lock is always limited, plus the front mudguards are often not matched to the front track width. They leave that to the dealer to set according to the customer’s track preference and dealer judgement pre-delivery. What I can’t stand is lazy dealership staff not setting these things properly before delivery to the customer.
I doubt whether these will be registered and go out on demo other than a demo round their yard. Most are sold before they are ordered from the factory but this dealer is known for putting large stock orders in, so some may be available for sale. Might be wrong. If MF put their own demonstrator out there, then they might be more keen.
Apart from anything else, it takes at least a couple of days to get to know this kind of tractor and the sophistication is not everyone’s cup of tea. Certain dealers now offer demonstrators with a maximum of ten clock hours before it goes on-hire at a substantial hourly charge plus delivery and collection charge on top if a sale does not result. Which is perfectly fair in my opinion. Farmer and dealer go around the whole machine before and after demo noting any damage and any such done on the demo will be charged regardless of sale, plus a genuine comprehensive insurance document for the full value of the machine must be produced and verified before it leaves the dealer's yard.
I have no idea what the policy of any particular dealer is in full but if I were involved and in light of some of the irresponsible clowns I’ve seen having demos in the past, that is the policy I would adopt if an on-farm demo of a tractor were to occur. That’s a big ‘if’ because a tractor has to be registered before going on a demo and it instantly becomes an used tractor.
The only times I’ve ever had a demo, and I’ve had four in total, they were offered to me [I didn’t enquire for them] more to evaluate the model or even the brand, by the dealer on behalf of the manufacturer than as a prospective customer [not immediately anyhow]. I made fairly comprehensive written reports of my findings. An early Case Maxxum was one such and that had a very long list of issues in my opinion. Within a couple of years nearly all of the issues, such as the deletion of ribbing in the steering wheel rim, the adoption of a glass door to the bottom, the up/down hitch control having the slow decent before the rapid section and the necessary inclusion of a neutral position for the shuttle switch. There was much more which I forget about but the one thing that they didn’t modify was the overhang of the ventilation housing above and behind the cab roof which restricted visibility for trailer loading. A factory engineer was in touch with me about the Case and the importer about an equally long list of design flaws in the very early Deutz Agrotrons, almost all remedied in the series2 models. Pity they didn’t commission farmer reports before launching the new design tractors for sale.

Both cabs are nice but you could have an illegal drinks party in the 8S.
As said, if I was younger I wouldn’t hesitate buying an 8S 220 or 240hp. I’m lusting for one.

Agreed. Seen a 4370 beside a 6613 couple of years ago and it looked bizarre just how compact a ‘Big 6 cylinder’ was in comparison.

710's on rear and 600's on front would do them well. Maybe even 800's in the rear and 650'
It's so last season to plough in furrow, on land is the future.

The soil will thank you later for ploughing on land, and there's always autosteer to keep you in right track. Personally i wouldn't be ploughing in said wet conditions.
