Changing my mt 932 for a newer model,
Any comments on a mlt741-120 Lsu, I’ve looked at one today, is the power shift reliable? Did seem to kick back on the steering sometimes, is this normal, 2008 yr 2200 hrs.

I'd be a bit suspicious of the hours. Clocks pack in and get replaced regularly

Yes I’d be suspicious of the hour clock, they do stop working. I had a 2005 741 and I had to put a new short drive shaft on the angle gearbox as it failed but I think it was a updated shaft that I replaced it with.The angle gearboxes are more prone to trouble than the powershift box. @ACEngineering will be able to tell you what issues thay have.

As said, 2200hrs on a 13 plus years old machine is almost unheard of and clocks are very unreliable.

as ever you need to go on condition of machine cause hours are irrelevant.

At some point a small accumulator was added to the steering circuit to help prevent kick back, not sure when exactly but maybe 2010 or 2012???

Did you buy it?
I saw a machine matching that description on a dealers website at the weekend but it’s no longer there

Those hours wouldnt be right.

I have not bought it yet, everything work fine on it, been repainted at some point which puts me off a little, I’m only doing about 120 hrs a year, the 932 I have has been a fantastic machine, just under powered
