Good honest video. I'm in a similar suitation myself. Bought a tractor and have spent more on it than it's worth just to keep it going. Totally fed up with it now.
Really interesting video on the trials and tribulations of the 3085 👍 never drove one but had a go on a 3070 for a few days and it was a good performer 💪
Good video it reminded me of the one and only John Deere we had a 3050 completely gutless awkward brute it broke down regularly and the parts were more expensive than the ford or Massey's thankfully it's long gone
Thanks Paul, I think every brand has a weakness or a poor unit at some stage in production, I guess the 3050 was it for JD. Saying that I like the shape of the 3050, but staying with the reds for now.😎
3000 Series great machines in my book Marius, I have a 3075 and love it. Not really sure what the issue with our 3085 was. We got it checked out and there was no issues recorded by the dealer. Alot of people commenting, like you that their 3085 or 95 was a good pulling machine.🤷♂️
@@FlyingFergyMan My old boy worked to a contractor for years and they bought a Ford 8210 series 3 and had nothing but problems with oil leaks,his boss sold it on after getting annoyed the next boy hadnt a single problem with it and got a great tractor at the finish haha, Always find you can get a good tractor or a bad one of the same model, 2 8240 newhollands and the white roof had a better lift than the blue roof strange how they all have there wee niggles
Good video Cathal. Neighbour had 3085 back I no the day and had a 3075. Said the 3075 had far more grunt. That’s the way they were just a bit dead but u had the dynashift to flick down the gears.
Thanks Gearoid, yes I dont know why the 3085 was the way it was, as a number of people have commented that theirs is more than capable. As you say some things just dont work out.
Another great video Great bit off information when she came and the ups and downs off her. You do tend to get a feeling about these things. And especially when you’re da starts to take a dislike to a piece off machinery,not slow the older generation. Pity though because you had her looking fantastic. Keep them coming Love watching them,real time videos and the truth all the way through. 👍👍
I admire your bravery in going black over red, I thought about it with my 1200 and chickened out. I think that will look fantastic black and silver and something different.
We had a 3095. It was a bit dead as well but reliability let it down. Left with nearly 10,000 hours on it but it was like triggers broom. Most parts had been replaced on it! Changed it for a JD6610 and never looked back!
Thanks Roger I was beginning to think it was just me that thought the 3085 was dead. Once we got he brakes, handbrake and pump issues sorted ours gave no bother in fairness.
Something badly wrong if the 590 could pass you. But the brakes failing on the tractor going down hill wouldn’t have been the tractor’s fault no brakes on the trailer will have over heated the tractor brakes that’s why they failed. We have a 3085 Dynashift never had a days problem with it only thing that let’s it down like all 3000 series tractors is the cab and doors ours needs a little attention on one door.
Ours went the same with the cab and doors, they all like that as u say. In fairness to the 590, it does have a fantastic engine in it, but u right it should not be able to out run the 3085.🤷♂️
I love all 3000 series 😊, shame about your 3085 ☹️, can't say or think of a good thing about the Bambi especially their outrageous prices for parts and labour, if I was forced to say a good thing about it, it would be the brown interior the amount of time's it nearly couped over, especially what just about came out of my @ss, it didn't hide the smel unfortunately,🙄 anger management phone no' would be an improvement for it !!, however I'm looking forward to harvest season, especially driving a 5S??? Massey, 😊, and he's got a Massey 3095 since new, yaaaaaa beauty !!!!! 🤩👍 however he won't sell it, but maybe a few bottles of whisky and get him to write 3095 sold to Mr C Anderson, might work ??,. 🤔🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃👍 thank you for the video.🙂👍
