This is my first thread so bere with me.We had a jd 6430 standard and bought a jd6125 m.I drove the tractor home and straight away it wasn't going right.When u came to a hill it would die down where the old 6430 would fly up.So I phone the dealer up and tell them it wasn't going right,and they tell me its new and it will alter after 500 hours!This was in march by the way.So we put the fert spinner on 540e 7 miles an hour and it was on its knees.So phone them and they come out with the dyno,it was giving 97,98 out on the shaft.And they say the same thing 'its a bit under but it'll alter after 500 hour!We have some land 10 miles away and my father went with the fert,so before he went I checked the tractor and saw their was no oil showing on the glass for the back end.So i put some in about 20 liters!!Nexed thing my old mans on the phone saying there something really wrong with the tractor.so phone them again and they come out after two hours and the mechanic says we've got to much oil in the back end and opens the plug to drain some out and he says you've coocked the back end!!so they take the tractor in and say that they didnt have a clue what was wrong.After a few days they phone and say its the air pump in the transmision and we've never had one go before!So we get the tractor back and we say that we aren't happy about the situation most of all the heat and ask for a replacement.They say no way and bring someone from jd to speak to us.I asked for 5 years waranty and he says ill have to get their service plan thats £85 a month!!So he offers 2 years on the air pump for the transmission,and also says that the heat would not affect the tractor.Any way we didn't take his offer and a month ago the air pump in the transmission went again.So thinking they will change it naw they're still not budging and aren't offering any more warranty.We asked to change and they wanted£5000 to change for the same thing!!Theres 430 hours on the clock and its been split 2.my question is what is reasonable for them to offer?
