As an construction equipment guy, I’ve never understood why the ag manufacturers insist on making their gear painful to work on for large repairs. It’s neat to see someone taking the mining equipment mentality and applying it in other industries. Keep it relatively simple with the ability to rebuild individual components easily. Cool.

Not far off Finning or SMS numbers. Isn’t JD in a lawsuit over a “right to repair”? They make their equipment so proprietary that only the dealer can repair them (on the electronic side)

It was just a memorandum of understanding with some made up bs ag group as a publicity ploy to get the general public to believe there is no problem and it goes a way. I hope the ones pushing the bill keep pushing.

They want more than just the electronic side of things. If they could get away with it, you wouldn't be able to change oil or fluid filters without dealer interaction.

There was a bill that passed in the house that exempts farm fuel from the federal carbon tax increases. It was a Conservative motion and was voted in favor from all parties except the Liberals. Tell all your friends in case you have a liberal hiding in a haystack.

Even our wonderfull minister of Agriculture voted against it, but everyone of our service boards and commission‘s will smile, shake her hand and kiss her ass instead of standing up for the check off payers

Should have held out I guess. Bought in when it hit $875. Still way better than last year.

If you can find a JD 2355 with a loader you better hang on to it forever. Probably the best piece of equipment we have ever owned.

Yeah last year was brutal. 11-52 didn't go down much. Also seeing big price fluctuations between retailers so it's definitely worth it to make some phone calls.
