Now now
You've joined this forum for the sole purpose of stirring shyte about tractors you're not happy with
You've posted a couple of vague "bugger me but they're bad" posts pertaining to what appears to be several quite spectacular transmission failures
You've not responded to questions asking what you actually want to achieve from gathering information off this public forum
You've exhibited a good grasp of a possible failure mode involving alleged cavitation, but without providing any evidence that you are correct
You've not yet received any other truly horrific stories of devastation and destruction of not even yearling age 8280 brake and gearbox failures
Perhaps you will hear, and you're not alone in what is obviously an unpleasant predicament, but you're not being open and honest about the details of the failures, and whether it boils down to flaws in the design, or flaws with the operators
Donald Trump clearly demonstrated that online truth is only who can chuck the most, the fastest, and the loudest. Good luck getting something out of Deutz UK

To be fair if 2 out of 4, less than a year old tractors have had gearboxes and there's been other problems, I don't blame him for a teddy chuck.
Details seem to be a bit lacking at the moment. As for hearing from others with similar problems I'd say its unlikely that they're very common in the UK.
He's a brave fella buying 4 relatively untested and rare tractors.

Martin S?
I would be interested to know who told you this, as BAGMA do not have a ‘standard’. There is the government requirement for slow moving ag vehicles, and a government requirement for fast ag vehicles, which is the same as the HGV standards.
The BAGMA test is capable of measuring both standards, to the same if not better accuracy.
The only difference I can think of between modern ag high speed trailers and HGV is that ag trailers tend to have ‘spring on’ brakes, do your trailers have these?

Ours was a 110, but pulled like a 150hp tractor.

It's never let us down.It`s been good (!!)
Aye, it sounds REAL good!!
Runs all winter on 24 cube wagon feeding 1000+ cattle.
It does what it was bought for. Which makes it good in my opinion.
It was very cheap when we bought it. We didn't expect a lot.

Not the most humble apology I've heard.
What? You've not heard our esteemed prime minister apologising for misleading parliament, lying to the nation, and breaking all his own Covid restrictions by organising weekly party pissups?
Not that's hearing an apology that lacks humility!
If it turns out that the new Deutz gearbox has a serious design flaw that was missed during their very extensive pre-production testing and development, and it turns out that owners of other 8280's have suffered such catastrophic failures, then yes, a different "apology" might be deemed appropriate for incorrectly asserting claas fit their in house hybrid planetary drive hydrostatic transmission to the axion(!)
I doubt if it'll make @Shitshifter or Kylie from banks farmers feel any happier about the troubles they're having with their tractors though?
If it's a design flaw, Same Deutz Fahr will be living in the workshop beside these failed tractors to ensure their new released model design isn't also an abject failure, surely? There's much more to this story than we're being told, and for attempting to learn more, I make no apology whatsoever

Don't understand the hate for the OP or why people are replying as they are.
Guy seems to have paid good money for 4x particular tractors and is pretty irate about it. Understandably so. Manufacturer seems totally unconcerned by his plight. Says it all really.
