[QUOTE="egbert, post: 7883686, member: 9965"] I'm not the man to say....we've had odd issues we've dealt with. Have a very good man that's too far from you, and main dealers finni8ngs are almost impossible to deal with IME. Um.... OK...there was a computer upgrade after our 2006 machine was made. It's a clunky great bolt-on, which might cost thousands if you need it. sorry, I can't recall what it fixed...but we needed it, and it took some phone calls to convince them not to charge £6k for it. The 330s are very slow to start, eating starters and batteries Eventually our 'nuts and bolts' fitter took injectors away to Mr Injector wizard, who reset pressures. Suddenly it starts like a dream...batteries and starters last like you'd want. Probably wouldn't pass emissions regs now...but hey ho Perkins engine means some ancillaries are shared with other makes. Manipoo parts are cheaper. Same with axles ...Carrero. CAT parts are often eye wateringly pi55 takingly dear Mind.... If it's only feeding a few cows, i don't know that i would want the complications of an older TH. A loader tractor would be far more versatile, and cheaper. [/QUOTE]
