Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see

We bought it along with a Brent 544 gravity box. Traded in the 9000.

I talked to the service tech that did the transmission work and I have the work order. They did spend 29K and change on the transmission work and another 1600 on the rear brakes.

Hydraulic flow test looked good and pulled the magnetic plugs on the front axle. No big chunks stuck on the magnets just a little super fine metal on the end. Looked the same as our Gleaner M3 transmission drain plug this fall when I changed the oil in it.

Jacked up the front axle on each side and the king pins were not sloppy. everything seemed tight.

The 3 point was throwing a error code (F011 and F06x cant remember now) and would not move up or down. They are fixing that as well as some other minor details.

Based on the serial number it is a 95 model. Engine dyno at 270 hp. seems a little hot!

We will not be working it hard pulling a IH 24' 496 disk or our JD 235 23' wing fold disk. We eventually want to go with vertical tillage and need HP for that. Thinking about a 4 meter VT disk for next year.

We have our TW 30 for backup. Dad didn't want to drive the 9000 anymore. I used it all last fall for stalk chopping. We also used it on our Unverferth 530 gravity box. The tractor ran good but the creature comforts were lacking. Earplugs were mandatory with the Hiniker 1300 cab.

Can't afford new with only 300 acres. Priced out a T7.270 and that will never happen unless we win the lottery or corn goes to $20 bu.
