Err,not to sound like a smart mouth, but isn't heat and dust to be expected in most environments tractors are used in?Is this the New Mexico Robinsons?
My guess would be they don't like heat and dust.
I think Kevin (or perhaps his son) have got a bit carried away in recent years with the amount of European stuff they are buying. Perhaps influenced by their foreign workforce?
Stick to what works, trucks for hauling and swathers or conventional tractors for mowing.

Tbf, any and all brands have problems/break down occasionally, the difference is dealer support, which in our experience is not up to par with jcb in the states
Won't be surprised to see fendt back in there fleet
Surly the cooling systems on these machines are far better than tractors in the 80s and 90s, is that an excuse!! not cleaning filters is down to drivers etc.Yes absolutely, some of the conditions in Texas, NM and Arizona (Robinsons main areas) are fairly extreme though. Overheating and dust were common problems when I was out there.
I don't think JCB has the best reliability record anyway, I've heard their US parts back up is a problem. Kevin would probably be working them harder than UK operators too.
A full, constant load on a machine like a mower or chopper on the outside tower of a half mile circle in 110 degree heat, soon finds problems.
But I agree, its no excuse for bad service.
Two sides to every story.

Judgin by that video it would be the mowers thats workin extremly hard but the tractor should be fit to stick it. Thers plenty o tractors workin hard out ther and doin ok. Customer of ours is runnin triples on a jd 155r so if its fit for it a 300 odd hp fastrac should be well fit for it. Ther just right to publish thier problems as so many ppl are so brand loyal they would never admit ther tractors break downThey look like the tractors are working fairly hard
