And I never said anything against the Yanmars,
sounds like you've had good luck. I farm with
Mannheim-built Deeres and think they're the best
JD's ever built. However, I had interesting
experiences with Zetor and Universal(Romanian
Fiat!). I've seen a whole shipment of Zetors come
off the boat with contaminated oil. I've seen how
spare parts are sourced by Universal dealers, they
cannibalize new tractors in the yard because parts
are hard to find.My neighbor has a Zetor. It turns
like a tank, if you can start it.Winter forget it.
Fuel pumps? You've heard of ISO 9000, well welcome
to ISO 9. Everything is machined with excessive
clearances. This might be beneficial in Siberia,
but in North America it means hard starting, lots
of smoke and oil consumption. I figure why put
yourself trough the aggrevation? Buy a real Deere
or a Yanmar in your case, and get it over with.
I appologize if I have offended anyone.
