Strengths EASY TO USE TRACTOR. WITH 55HP IT WILL HANDLE MOST ANY JOB.

Weaknesses AFTER 140 HOURS THE WATER PUMP FAILED. THE REPLACEMENT COST WAS $400.00. AGCO CORP. WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THE WATER PUMP BECAUSE THE WARRENTY HAD EXPIRED DUE TO TIME NOT HOURS. THEY WOULD NOT CONSIDER GIVING ANY HELP WITH THE PUMP. ALL PARTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. THE TRANSMISSION FILTER IS OVER $80.00 AND THE OIL FILTER IS $30.00. THERE IS AN AFTER MARKET OIL FILTER FOR AROUND $8.00. I HAVE CONTACTED THE COMPANY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND EXPRESS MY CONCERNS OVER THE OUTRAGEOUS COST OF THE PARTS. AGCO SEEMS NOT TO GIVE A RIP ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT THERE PRODUCE IN GOOD FAITH AND CONTINUE TO STICK IT TO US ON PARTS. AT THE TIME I WAS DEALING WITH AGCO THE PART PRICING MANAGER WAS AND MAY STILL BE MARY BETH VERDA. SHE ASSURED ME THE PARTS PRICES WOULD COME DOWN. THEY ALSO CLOSED THE DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO MY HOME NOW THE ONLY DEALER IS 110 MILES AWAY IN ATHENS ALABAMA. IN MY OPINION AGCO NEED TO MAKE SOME INTERNAL CHANGES.

Overall OVERALL THE MACHINE IS NOT BAD. THE COMPANY AGCO IS DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH AN AS STATED ABOVE THE PARTS ARE OUTRAGEOUS.
