200 Hour Review of the Workmaster 75

[@RS-sl5ko]

Good,dependable,simple hard working tractor.

[@floydhorslerjr8422]

I just bought a 2023 workmaster 55 its so quiet in the cab smooth running. I had to pull my tires off and switch the rims around to make a wider footprint in the rear but it handles great. I just ordered up the front 3rd valve kit for it. I was disappointed it came with the joystick but not the diverter valve lol but it was only 1400 for the kit so not a big deal. Thanks for your videos

[@DennysCountryLife]

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. They're great machines. I had the dealer change the wheel spacing as part of the deal. Nice not to have to deal with that, especially with the wheel weights and loaded tires. 330 hours on mine now, and it's been great. Enjoy your new ride!

[@G.I.JeffsWorkbench]

Thanks Chris for making this video. 50 hour reviews are fine, but by 200 hours you have a much better idea of how your machine performs. Glad you have a good dealer. This makes a huge difference. I’m trying to decide between a Workmaster 75 and a Massey 4707. Your video was a key part of my research. Thank you.

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thanks! I'm glad this helped. Both are great machines. I like the Massey too, but my closest dealer is 2 hours away, and they didn't have any in stock. The Massey has a lot to offer, but so does the Workmaster. I have 330 hours on it now, and it's been an excellent performer.

[@EricAdamsYT]

Thanks for the review. My family farm picked up one of these about 4 years ago and it's been a great tractor. Like you said, it handles just about anything you could want to do on a small farm. We've done the same thing with hay, feeding animals, we have a rototiller attachment. I'm not a huge fan of all of the new technology but it is nice to have an air conditioned cabin. Best of luck with yours. I hope it lasts you a very long time.

[@DennysCountryLife]

I'm glad it's working well for you! I'm still really enjoying this machine. 400 hours now, and it's been a real joy. I still feel like it was the right choice, over the competition. Thanks for watching, and take care!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Glad you have had only minor issues. Sounds like all the problems I had with my tractor may have finally been fixed at the factory.

[@DennysCountryLife]

I believe so. I know a few people with these and the red version, and haven't heard of any serious issues. What happened with your situation was REALLY unfortunate. I still feel bad for you guys.

[@jankotze1959]

Very nice to see you again Chris, apart from then steering issue I am glad you are totally happy, I learn something today of the 4x4 kick in when you push on the brake, that is a nice safety feature, and what role tire pressure can play.

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thank you Jan! It really does help, especially on hilly hay ground. I do like the feature, but I'm sure it will play a roll in premature front tire wear. I hope all is well for you bud! Sorry I haven't been around much.. kinda taking a break from youtube.

[@crslyrn]

Thanks for taking the time to do a review of your New Holland Workmaster 75 model tractor. Hope you continue to have several years with it. Take care.

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thanks Ron! It was kinda short, and I left a bunch of stuff out that I meant to address, but that's pretty typical of me. Lol

[@crslyrn]

@@DennysCountryLife Well, sounds like you need to do a part 2 on it. Maybe have your wife hold up que cards for you so you don't leave something out. LOL 😆

[@10tylerwalker]

We love our 2021 WM75, we have about 160hrs on it and the only problem we keep having is brake fade with no pedal. No leaks and the pedal damn near goes to the floor. Dealer keeps bleeding the air out and sending it back. It’s there now and hope they actually try and find out the problem this time.

[@vnthomas16]

Glad it’s working well for you! Sounds like the biggest problem with it is the service manager at your NH dealer!

[@DennysCountryLife]

He's really high strung, and not much of a people person, but at least everything has been addressed! I do understand blaming the operator a little.. there are lots of people running equipment that have no idea what they're doing. Ha ha

[@HumbleHaymakers]

That’s a nice looking tractor - hope you have a good long run with it...👍

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thank you very much! It really is a joy to run.

[@jimcox6687]

Hi Denny, This is Jim Cox and I've asked you a few questions before.. I followed your steps and made a grapple. Does your New Holland workmaster have a block heater? I have a work master 65. I can't fine a port to in stall a block heater anywhere. By chance do you know where there is a plug that I can pull out to install a block heater? Thanks

[@DennysCountryLife]

Hey Jim! I thought for sure, that mine had one, but I just looked and I don't see one. I'll have to get the manual out and see if here's any info on that. Sorry I can't help. If I find something, I'll let you know. Take good care!

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

Great update on the Workmaster Chris

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thanks bud!

[@WorldsOkayestFarmer]

*Hey man glad you got your issues fixed! Cant believe tire pressure fixed the one but makes sense. Take care* #WorldsOkayestFarmer

[@DennysCountryLife]

Yeah, I was shocked, but thrilled that's all it was. Thanks for watching bud!

[@ricksanchez7459]

What pressure did you settle on?

[@scottramesdorfer4827]

Hey Chris just wondering if your still happy with the New Holland work master 75 I’m looking at one right now. Thanks

[@DennysCountryLife]

Yes sir, I am very happy with this tractor. I think it was purchase I would make again. Best of luck with whatever you end up with!

[@ricksanchez7459]

So the pull steering issue is the cylinder and not the orbital? Ours does it too, its maddening. Be careful if your hayfields bumpy with the disc mower hanging off to the side without an auxiliary lift cylinder. Chris from centexag channel had his 3point break. Also, keep an eye on your planetary hubs if you tram over bumpy ground with baleage, ours broke 6 days out of warranty, nh is sticklers on the warranty. The casting in the hub that the bearings seat against is very thin and if the casting is porous at all it will break out. If you catch it when it first starts leaking its a $500 fix, if it chews up the planetary its almost $2k. If you fill your fuel tank to the brim, it will swell the fuel cap to where it won't come off. Keep an eye on the rivets that hold the condenser in it's frame, ours worked loose but we caught it before the condenser wore a hole through. Does yours whine in 4wd at about 1200rpm? Ours is losing coolant somewhere, gotta figure it out. We have around 600hr on ours.

[@reubenhershberger3200]

Thanks for the review, I am getting ready to purchase one myself I was curious how are the hydraulics on them ,do they have plenty of power and smooth operation?

[@DennysCountryLife]

The hydraulics are one of my favorite things about this tractor. Smooth, powerful and fast. Plenty of flow. Enjoy your new machine!

[@reubenhershberger3200]

@DennysCountryLife thank you very much,I am looking forward to purchasing it next week!

[@farming4g]

Never thought of that but it does make sense. I wish the front axle wouldn't engage right away when brakes are pressed in, some of the more premium machines have another sensor if the brake gets pushed in further then it would engage. Hard to have tires evenly pressured with loaders, plus how each MFG has their ratios setup. Some of our tractors have a noticeable kickout, others don't. Between both our 2 loaders, the older Allis there's a noticeable kickout but nothing too major. The newer Massey only has a slight hit, if at all. Both machines are at 35 psi front/20-22 psi rear with loaders on... I'll pay more attention to it if I have the loaders removed see if anything changes when I back off of the front tire psi. I mentioned before to you my sister has a Workmaster 75 as well. I think the only big issue they has was improper hyd oil was in it for cold weather... dealer took it back and swapped oil out and I think it solved the problem. She hasn't mentioned any other issues to me yet.

[@DennysCountryLife]

That's good to hear about your sisters machine. I could definitely see how that would cause lots of strange behavior when it gets freezing. I really don't like having the rears aired up so high, but I guess I'd rather that, then the clunk. Having a sensor down lower on the petal throw would be the way to go. I'll take a look and see if it's something that's exposed, that maybe I could move. Great idea!

[@farming4g]

@@DennysCountryLife Could be tied in when the brake lights illuminate too.. not sure how it's all setup unless it can be adjusted?

[@skylerharlow3602]

I have a 21 workmaster 65 and had the same problem with the hydraulic oil. other than that it has been a great machine

[@ricksanchez7459]

@Skyler Harlow Did yours whine when in 4wd at around 1200rpm? Im thinking ours has the wrong fluid.

[@skylerharlow3602]

@Rick Sanchez not sure of the whine you are referring to, but no whine other than the normal hydraulic shuttle transmission noise. I noticed it the day I went to the dealer to sign the paperwork for it, I was going over everything with the salesman and I went to raise the loader and would not budge. also apparently there is a separate circut for the power steering and that was causing a warning light on the dash. also the 3pt hitch was not moving.

[@georgeleray5657]

Chris good morning I have a Ford 1520 tractor I just put a sickle bar mower on it and I can't ingage the pto it just grinds any answers. Thanks George

[@DennysCountryLife]

Sorry sir, I do not know what's happening with your PTO. It sounds like something broke internally though. I wish you the best!

[@leol1682]

Thanks for the video like it Denny .

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thank you Leo! Take good care my friend.

[@jimcox6687]

I have a workmaster 65 I made a hay grapple from your video's Anyway on my workmaster 65 i can't get the hydraulic's button to work for the grapple. I push the button on the joystick but nothing happens am i doing something wrong? I appreciate all your help.

[@DennysCountryLife]

That's awesome you built a grapple based on the videos I made on that! I'm always thrilled to see that project has helped others. As for the third function button, are you just pushing the button only? Or are you pushing it while trying to "curl" the bucket? If it's the factory third function, it's just a diverter valve, and you need to push the button and move the joystick left/right to activate the hydraulics. I hope that's all it is. Otherwise, it could be many things.

[@jimcox6687]

@@DennysCountryLife thank you it's working now.

[@michaelturley2540]

What cylinder was causing the steering issue?

[@DennysCountryLife]

There's only one cylinder that powers the steering, it's on the right side if sitting in the cab, on the back of the axle.

[@JohnVHLife]

Nice machine!

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thanks John!

[@farmgrowncountrystrong]

A bale grabber like that is on our "one day" list.

[@DennysCountryLife]

It's the bee's knees! I don't know what I'd do without it when it comes to moving silage bales. I use to use my double spear to cradle them... what a pain! Lots of holes in plastic wrap if you don't do it perfectly. I got this one from Titan Attachments for like $1300 shipped to my farm. I know it's Chinese, but I'm not rich. Everyone else wants $3500 or more.

[@heddingsfarm8851]

Thank you for the information but those are two major flaws that this Tractor should not have they’re building stuff into these tractors that just should not be there, The ones I have have entirely too many safety switches Heddings Farm KZbin

[@DennysCountryLife]

Yes, they have lots of safety features that are quite annoying, especially at first. Once you get use to them, it's second nature, just like anything else. Overall, I do really still enjoy this tractor, and would buy another one. Thanks for watching!

[@btowannab9232]

Thanks for the review ,the service manager kinda sounds like a company man 🤔🙄

[@DennysCountryLife]

He's not much of a people person, and most certainly a company man. I think he's over worked, and has too many irons in the fire. He always wound up tight, like a guitar string. Ha ha. The most important part is that he got it taken care of for me, and I appreciate that.

[@crazyhass84]

U need a new dealer service manager!

[@DennysCountryLife]

Agreed! He'll get the job done, but it's just a fight the whole way it seems.

[@crazyhass84]

How do u afford new equipment with only 60 acres when u spend half your time driving between fields?! #dayjob lol

[@DennysCountryLife]

Day job definitely, but I do sell 500-600 small bales, my calf crop for the year, and do other custom work. In the end I probably pay half the payments out of pocket. Those payments do hurt, but In the end I'll have a nice tractor, payed off.
