IB orange in TX said: (quoted from post at 19:59:22 03/28/08) I"ve got to jump in here and add my 2 cents.
Bought a 570 used with about 900 hours for $4k and that was 5yrs ago. The girl is rough built, surfaces leak, good tires, air/con, radio, but..... ..it is difficult to learn the gear pattern. The wiring is a mess, had to rewire most of it to just get the lights to burn. The switches are junk. The good part, she is good on diesel. I use her to pull a JD 635 rd baler, all day, without any complaints. Would I buy another one, probably if the price was right. Have not had any problems getting parts for it. In fact, just got a side window for it a month ago. The bad part is the clutches don"t last long pushing a loader bucket. It"s just a weird built tractor by the largest tractor manuf in the world.

I thought the shift pattern was weird but picked up on it quick, hard to get used to TWISTING the gear shift, lets see haven't drove one in years, enjoyed hauling on the road with the 805: Push clutch in, turn hard left to range gate, shove forward for high range, pull back to neutral, twist to middle gear gate, pull back for "6th", let clutch out. rev it out, shove into neutral, twist left to next gate, shove ahead to "7th", rev it out, pull back into "8th", wind it out, shove ahead to neutral, turn to middle gate, let to revs die WAY down, shove ahead into "9th" And get going full speed, clutchless shifts possible up and down on the road same as a big truck, It was a very smooth shifting trans.
now that damn "reducer pedal"...that is a royal pain, never had ANY luck getting anything other than grinding, except disking and stabbing clutch quick and reducer with other foot, hi to low....forget low to high even on a roll on the road. I'd rev match 9th to 8th before going 9th hi to 9th low despite 9th lo being perfectly between 8th hi and 9th hi
