I wouldn't rush out to buy a new Case or New Holland in the near future. The union employees have been locked out in a labor dispute and CNH is using replacement workers to build the tractors. I'd be a little weary of the quality they are producing.

NOT A LITTLE WORRIED! Alot worried, infact run away. We work too hard for our money to take this kind of chance. If you need a tractor that bad right now I suggest looking elswhere (remember it is only the larger tractors that are made in Racine Wi. that are affected. Oh yes one more thing. The Fargo axles, I here they just had over 100 that need to be sent back to be re-worked. Oh yeah? Don't worry about the 85 tractors that need to be broke in half to have some O-Rings put in. At first we thought it was a cost saving thing, then we realized that the hydro-fluid that we lose every 10 seconds would fill your water bottle.
Thought I would never say this, but if your in need go "green" and please come back the next time. If your not in need make sure your tractor you buy is dated before Nov. 3 2004 or after (well after the lock out is called off) I said well after>? WHY YOU ASK? Cause there will be hundreds of tractors that will be in need of re-work. In fact just insist on a tractor made after this crap is done.

Oh boy, sounds just like the strike on IH, almost four years before they were bought by Tenneco just before filing bankrupcy. There are still many tractors out there that don't fit the dates so go ahead if you need one. ....

Joe, you don't need to worry about that as that was for the large ag tractors not the compacts. We were lucky as there was talk of reduced quality during that time and we had no problems from the tractors built during that time. ....
