possibly the same set of tractors?
We had 2, the first was a real Friday afternoon product, they even sent someone from the factory to the dealer when it was in - again - to find out why there were so many problems. The dealer did a good deal on a new one, so we tried again but no one really liked it much, although it didn't have the multiple problems of the first and we insisted on a 3 year warranty. As just an occasional driver, I found the controls backwards to all our other tractors.
Main drivers didn't think it was all that good either, so when it was still worth quite a lot it was swapped in for a Valtra which has been pretty good.

It is. Banks Farming is the OP, and you can see a Banks decal on the ones in the other thread.

Sounds to me if you're suffering from inexperienced dealer fitters who don't really know the quirks of the make yet.
A friend in my area bought a slightly smaller one from an ex John deere who started selling deutz tractors. It was alsorts of bother. In the end they loaded the tractor up in bits on pallets and sent it to Hardwick engineers near Scarborough to sort. They know their stuff and got it sorted. I wouldn't say it's been perfect since but it's a different tractor now its right

What do you do with them, do you have drivers that no how to operate them properly etc?
What does the dealer say is causing all your problems?
