Derv doctor increase possibility

2 out of 3 JD's here are mapped by DD. (3rd one will get the treatment in due course) Zero reliability issues and they go well, fuel saving is worth it alone. He knows his stuff and will tailor the map to what you want. His maps are all bespoke, not generic. It will include EGR delete and complete recalibration of the vgt turbo so it actually works. 120% recommended.

I was told that a lot of JD's around us are doctored before even leaving the dealership these days?

Saw a 7530 done and owner reported that the machine was much improved, ran cooler and was much more 'drivable' if that makes sense.

Madness, isn't it.

Nor surprising that the Americans are so up in arms about JD and their attitude to the farmer customers!

They put a wildly over spec'd ECU on the tractor for its time, then programmed it in about 10 mins on a Friday afternoon. A pity because they can be made to run beautifully.

JD have always maintained they own the software on the tractor even when you own the metalwork.

Let us know when its done how you get on.
First full day drilling today, she burns a bit more coal!!! But that was to be expected pushing 250hp on boost , runs 20deg cooler and not lagging at all . 4m combi , hydraulic fan front press pH working fairly deep . I'm happy travelling along at 9-10k without struggling now . Just need too sort the priority spool out early days but after 2 days I'm impressed what the lads done . To be fair they brought dyno too so immediately seen on that stood difference but fieldwork is convincing I've spent money wisely at the moment.

Had our 780 Lexion sorted to remove the ad blue a few years ago. No ad blue was brilliant, loss of 20% power was a bummer. The guy who did it came back to reinstall the original software but Mercedes software wouldn’t let him in again. I had 1 whole season with reduced power before I got Claas involved. They were excellent and only laughed at me when I couldn’t see them. It cost me about £12k to get everything back together with Class and I’d of paid double that if I’d had to. I will never let anyone who claims to be an expert at remapping, tuning etc near one of my machines again.

What recommendations did they come with?
It’s a small world and if someone isn’t good enough you soon find out.

What was the tractor putting out on the dyno before the fettle?

I hope he or his insurance stood your cost?

surely if they did not you should name him so others don’t get stiffed?
It was a monumental fup from the start. Before we had it deleted we had a Class fitter coming to the field every 3 or 4 hours to sort the de rate when the adblue fault flashed up. This went on for days. I was desperate for a cure, the guy was recommended by someone I know and trust albeit his combine was a bit older. For whatever reason it didn’t work, created loads of problems and stress and in the end cost me plenty to put right. I won’t name and shame but I stand by the fact I would never let anyone tinker with my kit again.
