Kind of long. Bought used 7810 with 9200 hours 3 years ago, after 5 or 6 months trans started slipping and clogging hydraulic and trans filters. It was late November and was sent to local Deere dealers shop, two months and $15500 later we get tractor back and everything is supposed to be good. Rebuilt power quad transmission new fluid and filters. In May started chopping alfalfa and we used tractor to road run wagons 3 miles to where we were filling bags. After 2 days filter lights start flashing, call dealer and shop foreman said to change filters because its normal for new linings to shed some material. Seems good all summer doing field work and round baling probably 220 hours, start chopping corn and use it hauling wagons, filling siloes and bags for customers and at home farm lights start flashing so change filters. Last spring spreading manure and disking it in the corn ground lights start flashing again. This time dealer sends tech down to check things out. He changes filters and drains transmission case, when he pulls screen there's fiber goo and pieces of linings all over screen. Of course its out of warranty and they said fluid had water in it. Refills with deere oil and says we're good to go, only charged for filters and oil no service call or time. Normal field work this summer and everything is great. Start chopping corn and doing custom work and lights start flashing. change filters and all seems good . Last week we got it out of the shed and ran about 12 miles when we got back it wouldn't back into the shed, no reverse. Checked screen and big chunks of fiber 1 and 2 inches and black goo. Dealer is working up an estimate for repairs and thinks it's the water in the hydraulics that caused problems and it was reverse pac that was going to pieces. Looking for similar 7810 stories and solutions for a tractor with 10000 hours.
