[QUOTE="Spud, post: 6563924, member: 78"] Sisu vt MF's have served us very well, with very little bother. 06 7480 was tier 2 Perkins, but vt box - 12600hrs from new, cost under 50p/hr in repairs. S/h 06 7495 here from 2700 to 6000hrs every bit as good. Two 7620's & a 7618 here now have 15000hrs between them, no transmission ailments in either of them. Bought a 10,000hr 7490 last spring as an extra/replacement for a hire tractor on the strength of it's predecessors. Addblue issues plague the newer ones, usually get brake accumulators expiring between 5&7000hrs. Hub seals & high low cable on sprayer tractor. Gearbox wiring loom on two older ones. Compared to Dyna 6 tractors - north of £30k in repairs between two tractors with only 11000hrs between them. Perkins tier 3 injectors £290 each. Sisu are £90 each - never needed to fit any Sisu ones though!! [/QUOTE]
