  • @portrrbeeson3754
    @portrrbeeson3754 Месяц назад

    Owned mine for three years . Had to replace starter after only 100 hours. Roading it from one field to another tractor ran like crap, had a pinched fuel line. Tires are cheap made in India Galaxy brand and had to replaced one front tire after two months ,tire split from inside out and could not be repaired, second front tire did the same thing only a few months later. One rear tire split from inside out after about 1 year of use, had a 1/8 hole on outside and a 2 inch hole on inside. 300 dollars to fix. Needs better brand of tires and Needs wider front tires. And beware dealer does not put liquid in rear tire unless you ask so if you have a front loader tractor rear will tip up with a bucket full of dirt. I would rather find an older made in Germany John Deere. Their well built and will run forever.

  • @waynehere1277
    @waynehere1277 5 месяцев назад

    I am a little confused, well, sometimes that is an understatement. LOL. Why do you need a car relay when the temp controller has a built in relay? I have seen this before on some other videos and was wondering. I have this same setup but without the car relay and have had no problems. Just curious why it is needed?

    • @kalevalasouthfarm
      @kalevalasouthfarm 5 месяцев назад

      I followed the plans that I found online and they called for the the rely which my guess is for the higher amp rating. The Temp controller is only rated for 10 Amps the relay is 30 amps so it just builds in a safety factor, to prolong the life of the temp controller. But if yours works without the extra relay that's good to know for the future.

    • @waynehere1277
      @waynehere1277 5 месяцев назад

      Yeah, I thought of that too. The pump is only rated at 7.5 amps so I figured I was good. If it blows up, then I guess I should have used the extra relay.... :)@@kalevalasouthfarm

  • @southernadirondackoutdoors
    @southernadirondackoutdoors 5 месяцев назад

    Very subtle camera transition between the green and orange 🤣 I have to admit that John Deere's are good machines but when I was in the market I found them way more expensive than others and the proprietary front end quick attach turned me off.
