Gav836 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 You don't know half of the problems we've had lately mate, the 6420s had a hospital stay due to a driveshaft fault under the cab, just one thing after another, if it isn't the 6420s its my 6920s, think they work as a tag team \ The only one thats never any trouble is the 6810 with 7500 hrs on it, its never been touched other than servicing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeredriver Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 seems like the 20 series have a lot of problems my boss looked at trading our 8310 in for an 8320 untill i told him about the 20 series having problems prob getting an 8*30 this next spring either need somthing bigger to pull the 30 ft notill drill as our Mx270 is crap so its gona be on lighter duties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Reports locally on the 30 series are no better, several die hard JD fans have switched to other brands now due to experiences with 20/30 series models. Be interesting to see what happens. I do know that there have been a few diff problems with the 8*30 series though by an engineers own admission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
