    High houred Fendt 718 or medium houred 6150R

    We have got a 2014 6150r auto power/ivt at 7000 hours. No transmission problems but the rest of the tractor feels like it’s ready to rattle apart.

    Starfire 7000

    It’s the same as a 7000. The 7500 just has a different circuit board due to chip shortages. Performance wise they are the same.

    John Deere/ Brandt.

    Yes, some of the most experienced techs did not sign new contracts with Brandt and left. I’m in the North Island of New Zealand where Brandt now own every single dealership besides one. Don’t think they are in the South Island yet, for now….

    John Deere/ Brandt.

    They will buy out your local dealerships and then take away your discount on parts you were previously getting.

    $2,000 aud / £1000 pound horsepower is now a thing.

    We have got a brand new 8r and 6m with no DEF delivered to us here in New Zealand this year. You can’t order a 6r with no DEF though unfortunately.

    John Deere reducing dealerships

    Happened in New Zealand too. We only have one company owning all the dealerships in the north island now. Lost our discount on parts too after our dealer got bought out by this company which owns 138 dealerships through out 3 countries.

    Starfire 7000

    That’s good to hear. I have a new tractor coming around March that was ordered with a 6000 and was just wondering if I should cancel it and wait for a 7000.

    Who is buying new tractors?

    There is a demand. We ordered jd 8r in Feb this year and we won’t have it till March next year. 10 month wait for jd 6m ordered two weeks ago and 6r bought last year was similar wait. I’m in New Zealand if that makes any difference.
