we  made  the  MISTAKE  of  getting  the  285     over  a   4040 (with  
cab)        boy that would have been  a   cheep  $4000 difference    LOOKING 
BACK.
 
the   285  has   18oo hrs...    has  had  a  fire, 2 broken rock shafts,   
all hydralic levers  feeze,   the steering gear break 2 times,   the   PTO  
grind  its teeth off...    the  clutch going  out..    BUT  it ran  the   
generator   last week    all week    for  1.5 gal/  hr    (it is a  35/45kw)   
runing   the   grain dryer and bin equipment as well as grampa's   house  
 
OH  and Cecil  the  brand NEW  MF"s    still  have that   hydralic 
problem---    the   2007 model 8480 we have  leaks   all over the  place..   the  
mechanic  says  they  are   part of the  Harley Davidson  group...  they HAVE 
to MARK   THEIR  Territory  OR someone  WILL TAKE IT...  
we currently  have    the  245, 285, 2805, 3545,  and  the 8480.   
WE have   some of  every Make  on the farm   but  a ford  and   we  only 
have   a Case  Backhoe--sold the SC yrs ago.
