    Most reliable/ strongest quad bike for farm use.

    I've had a mate come round specially to check cause he didn't believe me. It was riden by females predominantly when doing stock work etc which probably helped. Been through a few belts etc but engine and gearbox have been pretty sound started using a drop of coolant in the last few months

    Most reliable/ strongest quad bike for farm use.

    Have a 2015 can am that's just died. Last time I checked it had 85,000km on it. Regularly maintained hauling a 1000l 60 teat calf feeder plus calf trailer plus usual running around.

    Red Tractor getting their facts wrong again

    RT is telling the truth if they were talking about NZ circa 2000. The trouble is the rules aren't too dissimilar between the countries but that doesn't fit the narrative that it's cheaper therfore it's lower standards... (no offense intended to farmers in either country). Rules are made for...

    Red Tractor getting their facts wrong again

    Classic case of a bad sales man. Instead of talking about the positives of your products they just try and take a dump on their competitors.

    Do I really need duals?

    What part of the country are you in? I hate duals for most things except when I'm going somewhere hairy. They are awkward, uncomfortable and not sure do they grip climbing up the steep stuff any better that a decent singles.

    Paying for stuff.

    It's relatively common over here with air points credit card getting air new zealand points. End up with free air travel. Some companies don't want to deal with credit cards anymore tho

    MF 8220 pto shaft

    I'd expect nothing less.. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: It's probably a limited run of only a few tractors. I probably wouldn't bother but it's an absolute sweetheart if a tractor that everyone on farm has a soft spot for... even my wife banned me from trading it in. Not sure why we all like...

    MF 8220 pto shaft

    Just incase I'm being a bit blind I can't see either unfortunately. Pic of the shaft itself in my last reply. I think I see the spot on the console(just below the pto switch) for the level but no hardware
