Hope mine does longer than that! Just done over 5k hours.
They seem to last longer in a CVX case?

Depends how long you have run it for with error codes etc on. Some people keep going and melt packs together.
Ours was 6k and they did high, low and medium clutch packs. Done by CNH dealer.

Theres a company in france that does a recon fendt vario exchange for 4000 euros. Plus haulage to and from thier place and an inde mechanic to remove it and refit the new 1 still wouldnt be any more expensive, possibly work out cheaper as haulage wont be that bad seein its only a pallet size delivery
This one was a loooong way short of those sorta hours.

How do you abuse an auto command tranny?
Back end full of filings it was a mess
dealer said they would refund so farmer said do that.
I know dealer wasn’t happy and would think they will have sent it for a boat ride
I wouldn’t but something had certinly been done to this one

Lots of imports come into the states. Most are good... some are not. Local chap bought himself a t7210 two years ago that hailed from her Majesties kingdom. Has spent about half it's time in a workshop torn to bits. Mechanic doing the work said he followed a wrench trail all the way to the heart of the transmission first time he opened it up.I would love to know how the new owners get on
abroad .

Why do they import tractors?

Great way to purchase a fully specced used tractor for a decent price.
Most guys here buying new are simply after a bare spec machine especially for row crop (arable) purposes. Dairy guys typically are the ones that buy import stuff. Gets them a tractor that is 40/50 k and equipped with implement brakes.
