[QUOTE="Lowland1, post: 7715556, member: 66524"] For years I put off upgrading to more modern machinery after bad experiences with MF 3000 tractors but over the last 6 or 7 years have bought newer tractors generally the dealers can tell you what’s wrong but won’t be carrying stock or be slow on getting spares so we try and import what’s needed and either fit it ourselves or get the dealers to do it. Independent mechanics aren’t very good but are cheap whilst the dealers are looking at the equivalent of £50 an hour for labour which in a country where the daily wage is less than a fiver is a bit wrong but my Son tells me a Claas mechanic in UK can take home £800 for a Sunday in harvest which probably equates to a labour bill of several thousand so it’s probably a bit similar.
