I"ve heard good and bad also. Back when autotrans was an option on cars, people were leary of them, especially pickup trucks. Yes the early ones had problems. Later on, just fine...like cars and trucks. As far as money pits, my 861 has had over $1200.00 worth repairs including one of those double clutch things. They aint cheap. The up side...If I had to pay some schmuck to do what I"ve done with my 861,(land scaping, demolition, etc) I could have bought 2 decient 861"s or 3 decient 8/9N"s with that money. Since I"ve done all repairs myself, it only cost for parts and my time. Any tractor that runs good and has the correct attachments will save you thousands. I figure mine has paid me at least twice and maybe three times the investment including the repair costs. If it died tomorrow, I couldn"t complain because I got my money back and a lot more. The down side...I do not enjoy turning wrenches on it, and I do have to do it to keep it running well (part of the deal I guess).
