Ok...Guys....I got a 1999 model 8345 FWA.I have had a fuel leak.50 cents for a O-ring....Do other brands leak? I have used this tractor for 450hrs.It has Baled most of the time.I pull a 835 JD baler.The baler is all it wants.But it pulls it all day.The only thing it needs is a few more horses.I needed to buy the next size bigger.It"s a great loader tractor and handles big round bales nice.Tranny is a lil funky till you get used to it.Now I can shift it very smoothly.I think it need worked to get the new off of everything.There could be a better range of gears in it.Some are too close together.It starts very well in cold weather.Below 20 degrees I plug it in.I never plug it in till 2 hours before i want to work it.Cooling system could be better.I never get mine fully warmed up.Till I work it.The curtain in front of the radiator needs some work.Now I use it to feed 300 cows.It make a 10 mile round trip everyday.As for fuel..I fill it every other week.Can"t complain about that.I replaced my 4020 with it.Yes it is smaller and yes it"s not a JD but...I bought it for 1/3 cost of a new deere .and about the same price a good 4020 would of cost me.It has front loader and 3 pt.Cab and heat and air.4020 was a open tractor.I also have a 4010 with cab and heater.What a joke.Heater works great in the summer.Winter I don"t want to talk about it.You bet your butt it a hell of a lot warmer to drive 10 miles everyday when it"s 20 degrees out.I have work this tractor for almost 5 years.Besides the above repair it"s went trouble free.I have a BIL that bought a NewHolland /Ford...HaHaHa.His pto quit...Back to the shop...400.00 later he got it back.His reminds me of the days when the NEW car came out with all the bells and whistles.What happens ...First the bells quit and then the whistles.What a joke for $45,000.00.I can buy 3 Belarus"s for the price of One FOrd/NewHolland or any other tractor.Where do you think all the 100hp and under tractors are made?Damn sure ain"t USA.To the people that complain about the Belarus...Do you own one? Resale is nothing on Belarus.....Great that means I can pickup another one Cheap...ANd retire another tractor (4010).I;"m not knocking other tractor because I have A Ford 2N,JD..4010,4020,8430,855.and a 45 Cat Challenger.Guess which one cost me the most..CAT...Talking about taking it in the butt when I bought it.I won"t go any farther on it.Just don"t waste your money on one.I know that the Belarus will cost me some money down the road.But don"t all of them cost?I have a cheap tractor that keeps me warm in the winter and cool in the summer and I know what it has cost me so far.For the price I gave for it and the service I have got out of it I would buy another one in a heart beat.Just my 2 cents worth.....idontno
