I bought a NorTrac 35HP, 35XT (160)in early 2015 with backhoe and a 1 yr extended warranty. I have 33 hours. Off the truck or within 33 hours, condition: no (10%) acceleration; idle 11,000 RPM; very difficult to shift with clutch floored; stalls frequently (Going up slight grade it crawls in first gear and practically stalls. Depress accelerator to the floor with no change in crawl.100 feet); joystick stopped working to dump, was mailed new one - easy fix - tighten nut; large hydraulic hose under backhoe seat drooping to 3 inches above tractor building floor; brakes were adjusted; right swing arm cylinder extremely, extremely rusted, sent new one; backhoe ball joints badly rusted; pitted and small rust spots on half of the cylinder pistons, mailed 9 photos of all rust to NorTrac and was told small rust spots were sand and to use for a while to see if they go away. Good idea. After 33 hours, some are just pitted now. (why keep it so long?); exterior of joystick housing completely rusted; can't get a full loader of dirt, not digging into Earth; loader raises slowly empty - control throttle setting? <br>
I can't imagine what I will find next if I am ever able to use it at its peak potential. <br>
Clearly, this tractor was not inspected by a quality control team. <br>
What would you do? Try to get new one from NorTrac? - Good Luck.<br>
<br>
Before buying, I researched the tractor and read great reviews. This must be a lemon, without inspection. <br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
