I am wondering if it would be worth while to try and sell my JD 770 located near Toronto Canada here on TP. The practice (that used to annoy some of us) of all the good equipment going south of the border has virtually stopped, now that the Canadian Paso is stronger. Any thoughts. It's also a question of becoming a member, so facilitate this. Thanks

I was interested to see that others shared my fear of the electronics in these new machines. The marriage between hydraulics and electronics has and will offer some really neat equipment. But at what cost? Yes, I run newly bought JD equipment. My 770 was left standing in the lane when a fuse blew for no reason in a module that I didn't know existed (for the operator presence stuff). Fortunately, I had the talent to trouble shoot that one. That would have cost a bundle for that simple fuse. My PTO engagement on my 6200 open station tractor now works in a very intermitent manner, and has me scared. I once priced a silly aux 12 volt connector for the same tractor and it blew my mind. It was almost obscene! For me, the cost of some module, down the road is un thinkable!!! An old fashioned, simple and usually sticky PTO engagement lever would never fail me. As with my vehicles, my current thinking is to replace them sooner, rather then later. But with tractors, it should be different. It used to be different. They say, they get you coming and going. I guess for my fear, they just get me coming.

My Dealer printed off, possibly a hundred or so pages of neat information on the 110 for me. It is full of aftermarket equipment and various important and interesting information. I consider it a must-have for information junkies like me. The document starts with the number C27-100-1, whatever that means.

I am interested in hearing as much feedback from the new 110 owners, both good and bad. I had a machine on trial, but without remotes and couldnt try everything I wanted to.

Also, about the nice aftermarket cab. Is it quiet, and is the fact that one has the refueling spot inside the cab going to be unpleasant?

Thanks

I use a home made 3PH mounted splitter on my 770. It works good without a lot of RPM, but I miss the fast retraction of a unit with a two stage pump. It is still acceptable, and I am quite a perfectionist. I guess if I was in the business or did an awfull lot of wood, it might not be fast enough. I use a bungie cord on the loader joystick and have to route the hoses to the front as I don't have a rear SCV.

Regards
