Mine is out of warranty,but i wouldnt mind betting if you use brands like Donaldson and Fleetguard,the manufacturer would lose in court .You can’t use a Largo invoice to keep your warranty though.

And grease, cause we all know this difficult job is priced in to the big bill!!!Is this all “services” are reduced to these days….just an oil and filter change?
I don’t like this word genuine in relation to tractor manufacturers filters,I would much rather see Donaldson or Fleetguard written on the filter!Filters are from memory about half the price of genuine ones apart from the big hydraulic one which is no cheaper than the main dealer, that was from inline filters
Actually i did make a slight mistake it was £2200 the £400 bit was the vat never the less !!!That seems very expensive to me, but I don't know what a 1200 hour service entails.
At least put a copy of the invoice up for us all to gawk at. Blank out the personal and company details. Remember, you've still got the power - you haven't paid the bill yet.
Always annoys me that one when the labour rate is £££ to begin with, surely it should cover disposable gloves and a few wipes.£35 for consumables ….
i dont know how they dare send that invoice out, mate hhad similar for a nh but that was off robbin bob! ee were thinking of a change of brand on the next change, but it wont be nh , mind you the lime green ones are behaving at the moment.Actually i did make a slight mistake it was £2200 the £400 bit was the vat never the less !!!
Wont be paying or buying anything else from them. Invoice attached
1100 lbs labour....christ, how long were they there for? At 75 an hour, that's over 14 hours?
I'm not sure you'll get away with not paying?Actually i did make a slight mistake it was £2200 the £400 bit was the vat never the less !!!

I wonder if all the dealers do it?Is it about 3000 hours on the bigger fpt engines (puma size) that you have to take the rocker cover off and change a filter on the engine breather.? .
Even the mechanics say its not a great job to do but it needs done. I wonder how many farmers doing their own servicing bother!.
Well I see on google that a 504070038 is an Iveco valve cover gasket so it looks like they have done the filter thingy (5802276802).I wonder if all the dealers do it?
Maybe explains the price differences on here?
I notice its a 2400 hour service not a 1200 as in the OP.
Sometimes these things don't end up being as straight forward as the original posts suggest Could be some laptop time in their too, calibrating the transmission or something? Trouble is we don't always get to know the outcome.Well I see on google that a 504070038 is an Iveco valve cover gasket so it looks like they have done the filter thingy (5802276802).
It really comes back to how long the mechanic/s were on farm for. 14 hours seems excessive for one competent person, but if it was a technician with an apprentice in tow....it could explain the labour discount? It could also explain why there's essentially double the amount of labour stuck to the job.
The plot thickens.
A 1200 hour service is a service carried out every 1200 hours, more work is done on a 1200 hour service than a 600 hour service.I wonder if all the dealers do it?

Yep I get that but a 2400 hour service might have something that the 1200 doesn't, like the valve filter/check or is that done every 1200?A 1200 hour service is a service carried out every 1200 hours, more work is done on a 1200 hour service than a 600 hour service.
Basically every other service is a more comprehensive service than the ones inbetween
yes thats where alot of labour will beI can say that changing the rocker cover filter on a swb t7 is no easy task. If took 2 of us the best part of a day to do it. Everything around the rocker cover has to come off to enable the rocker cover to come out. You can really see where the hours dissappear to.
