Here in Western New York with a few hills they seem to not last like other tractors such as Case or John Deere! They seem to just burn through them in days! Does the special tranny have no compression braking through the diesel to assist the brakes. Not impressed with this tractor at all. In fact a number of farmers here in Western New York think they are just "scrap" and cannot wait to get rid of them. They spend more time in the shop than on the fields to make money. Sorry but they are plain "lemons!"
