Haha no worries, I mostly talk Australian Farming here but occaisionally I get sidetracked

And when an accident happens and kills someone who goes to jail?

The bigger risk is probably the non-autonomous vehicles sharing the road with them. A well designed and maintained autonomous machine will behave in very predictable ways, including obeying the speed limit all the time. Humans do not.

It still worries me too though.

I really liked the way your post says that mechanical failures are quite unlikely to cause accidents, and then mentioned John Deere in the very next sentence...



...you haven't seen the 'Wreckers' thread yet, have you... going by what I see on there, its only plasticine head gaskets that keep them on all 4....

Haha - must be all those sh!t little "toy" tractors they play with over there . . .

Say 30 - 40 yrs ago it wasn't uncommon to hear of tractor say doing a diff or a transmission
In recent times ?
Nah, they all are pretty good & pretty equal. I know of a number or high hour high horsepower tractors of various colours, can honestly say none of them are prone to breakdowns more than others, just usual wear & tear as you'd expect.

honestly, cant think of any " common " faults or issues with any of the major tractor brands Ive heard of

as I said, must be just those sh!t little tractors the poms play with, not real mens tractors

 

[Farmer Roy]

or cars for that matter
read this forum youd be excused for thinking every new vehicle had DPF faults, or chassis crack or whatever the current thread is . . .

You should not mention diff and transmission problems on 30-40 year old tractors, as it may offend one forum member from Cambridge.

I find the DPF/common rail/head gasket/diesel in sump/transmission malfunction and every other ute problem under the sun quite entertaining for someone who's main mode of transport is a 35 year old L200.

Haha, much as I'd hate to offend anyone

But, modern tractors are superior in every way, reliability, design, function, efficiency, comfort, safety etc etc than the old sh!t from 40 yrs ago . . .I can't believe the poor layouts, ergonomics & design we just accepted then . . .

True, but some people think tractor design peaked in the late 70's,early 80's.....

You’re bound to find someone of this forum who still thinks it’s a good idea to plough with horses... having said that, you might find someone who still thinks it’s a good idea to plough!

Right, I’m off to hide under some coats!

Dunno Roy, I am just a youngster and find things from the 60s-80s to be in my price range and very functional yet. Ergonomics is for 10 ply pansies.!

True to a point but older tractors don't get flawed by software faults needing expensive dealer updates though

Looking good
You don't get soil like that from beating the bejeezers out of it and selling everything that comes out.

So does this mean we can give Barnaby back to the Kiwis and get the APVMA back to some semblance of order?

Hahahahahaha

He's actually in my part of the world, the next door electorate, but before boundary changes actually covered this area also

His father owned a place next to us when I was a kid

But, coal mining, coal seam gas are huge issues here with a lot of farmer / environmental & aboriginal opposition but the f u king Nationals & Barnaby are that much in bed with the resources companies & have their hands in their pockets, that they have shat all over their traditional constituents ( farmers ) in support of unregulated mining & raping of productive land & aquifers. K unts,
I despise them all & I particularly despise Barnaby the coal loving k unt
@Kiwi Pete & @FonterraFarmer are welcome to him
