Sorry if I was a jerk, but I've heard this garbage time and again to the point that it's simply ridiculous how much misinformation there is out there. But that's the nature of what I refer to as "coffee-shop gossip". But no, it's not every engine built after a certain serial number or during a certain time period, either. The earliest 8020 we service out of this shop is around the 400th one built, and we have one with serial number 37,XXX out front now, and so far we've only been told that one tractor we're responsible for is affected. One of our sister stores has had two combine engines fail that I know of. One failed on Friday afternoon or evening, as was running again on Sunday evening with a complete new engine that Deere somehow managed to have a freight company deliver to the dealership on Sunday, so they are definitely bending over backward to fix this problem. You own a couple of good tractors there. I probably prefer the 8410 to an 8420, base tractor to base tractor until you get into the goodies like the ILS and Active-Seat, and the 8100 is a good one, also. Your 8100 must be a #10,000-and-up unit if it also has the 6081, correct? The 6076 used in the early 8100, 8200 and 8300 is an awesome engine in its own right, but I really feel that the 6081 is something special. I've dynoed three or four 8400s this winter already doing inspections, and haven't had one yet lay down less than 260 horsepower.
