I have an Oliver 1655 that I really like how it handles. It is used a lot during the summer hay season. I have been shocked by some of the prices Agco wants for many of the parts for it. The little pin that keeps the three point lift arms from floating, $50 each. It just is a real short Cat I top link pin. Ordered one by dimension from JD: $4.95. The rear brake disks have triple in cost the last four years.
I will stand by the statement about the mechanics. Everyone of them around here that are MF repair guys are widely know to cut corners and rig up repairs.
Also I posted that JD was better than some but still not great on warranty repairs. The dealer stands much of the cost of warranty.
The best company warranty I dealt with was Zetor. I worked at a dealer that sold them in the mid 1990s and Zetor would usually pay the shop ticket with little argument. They even payed for shop supplies used in the repair: oil added those type of things. JD almost never pays for the oils needed in a repair.
