Howdy, Well, in a word they are pretty cheap. I haven"t owned or operated one myself but we sell them here at the store. They seem to be mechanically sound but are just cheaply built. We had one 471, I believe, with a cab and the roof had to be replaced at least once; possibly twice due to being cracked by exposure to sun.

Of course, just about all your imported "American" tractors have the same high quality construction, be they caseih, deere, or massey.

I"m not a fan of japanese tractors but we sell fewer replacement parts for them than any of our other lines we sell. That speaks volumes to me. God bless. --old fashioned farmer
