Nice tractor (just bought one) The case loader is not a patch on the Quicke loader. 1. It's not self locking when attaching it to the tractor. Sometimes needing several exits from the cab before the lever can be locked 2.The soft ride option is a lever on the front and not a switch in the cab 3.The bucket attaching mechanism is a direct pull action without a lever to assist and often needs a crowbar to open it. The factory installed loader joystick deliberately prevents any access to the right hand door being cranked toward the steering wheel. Although they provide steps and even s door which cannot be used even in an emergency.
I've now discovered you have to remove the 2 fuel filters before you can get to change the engine oil filter. What idiot designed this? Why not make you remove the cab as well?
Further criticism R H DOOR It is impossible to use the RH door because of the loader lever which is cranked to within 2" of the steering wheel. LOADER JOYSTICK To operate the 3rd service the button has to be pressed with the thumb at the same time 'pulling' the lever to the right. Gripping the stick with the fingers, the thumb being used on the button. This action causes severe pain on the arm especially with prolonged use. There should be a joystick with buttons on the front that can be operated with the fingers. I have yet to discover why a clutch and a fast and slow buttons are fitted on the loader lever as it is only necessary to use them when changing gear where there is a duplicate set of buttons on the gear lever. FRONT WINDOW When fitted with an opening windscreen the loader will smash it when lifted. There is no catch to hold the window and not even a warning notice. OIL FILTER To change the engine oil filter, both fuel filters have to be removed to gain access necessitating the re-priming and bleeding of the fuel system each time. BUCKET ATTACHMENT The bucket attachment lock is a crude direct pull action often requiring a crowbar to move it. Am I pleased with the tractor, No I'm not it's a disaster. These things should have been sorted out before putting the model on the market.
I have the 110c and no need to remove fuel filters for oil change even though owners manual says to remove them to gain access. They were not in the way whatsoever. Maybe not the same for the 115c.
@@darwinwollmann4097 I have not yet tried it but was told by the service engineer who did the first 'compulsory' service. It appears for appearance sake they have fitted removable side panels, and the brackets to attach these cover the oil filter. It may be easier to detach these instead of removing the fuel filters.
