[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1851361, member: 24816"] I'll agree with you, that any of them can be good or junk. My 3000 Ford has been a great little tractor, and the Ford 5600 that we used to have was a good solid problem free tractor too, then it got sold to buy the 7710 the big blue lemon as I called it. From what several people have told me was that the newer Fords were not as good as the old one ( that could be said if any of them) and that the New Hollands are even worse. I'm glad you've had a good experience with the blue tractors. I'll stand by what I've said, I've talked to a friend that bought a 6610 and he was having some serious similar issues with it too. Just recently another friend was telling me about the piece of junk New Holland that he had bought. The man that does our hay runs several tractors and a few years ago had a smaller New Holland that they raked hay with. He didn't have it long because they were always having trouble with it. Add in that the closest Ford now New Holland dealer does not have much of a good reputation among the areas farmers that have dealt with them. When we first got our 7710, it was under warranty, and leaking fluid. The dealership refused to cover it. We wrote the Ford motor company about it and they made somewhat of a compromise. Another friend bought a new Massie Ferguson from that same dealership as they now handle Massie Ferguson. He had a problem with it and the driver that came to pick it up told him, off the record that he has to come back and get practically every tractor that they sell. That friend caught them and called them on it, they were going to charge him a lot more extra for several more hours of labor but he had known one of the mechanics that told him how long he worked on it, and he stood up for it for him, knowing he could have lost his job over it. Some people hate Angus, Hereford, Linousin etc, but they work for others and they swear by it. No difference with tractors. Personal experience is different for everyone. [/QUOTE]
