I understand your position on these various rumors that go around, especially from a professional standpoint. Blatant ignorance tends to disturb those who know what they're talking about, and it rightly should! There is no doubt in my mind that Deere is doing everything they can. I find myself questioning what I stated eariler about the engine failures being a "crock", becuase a company that big is bound to make mistakes. And with more product support than you can shake a stick at, there's little room to be doubtful of their products. Also, while I have always had a weakness for green, I am not quite sure that I stand behind some of their more recent decisions, like dropping their tried-and-true cylinder-walker combines, and moving some of their manufacturing overseas. I understand their sales pitch for the STS, as well as their position financially for cheap overseas labor, but I think as consumers, we might find some quality has been sacrificed over the next few years. Yes, the 8100 is a 98' so it has the 8.1L. I really like them both. The 8410 is all tillage, while the 8100 is my planting tractor. I have had no trouble with them, and the support of my local dealer is phenomenal. I test drove an 8320 with ILS and front and rear duals, and it was butter! However, having grown up aboard an open station Allis 190XT, I feel spoiled in cabs with radios, air conditioning and heat. And I like the comparitively simple functionality of the seat and front axles of my 8100 and 8410. I'm pushing 4000 hours on the 8100. Getting to be time for valve adjustments and dampeners...
