Hi Robert were the 150T 80k a good machine

[@the13spanner]

probably not their best model for reliability , no

[@atm451]

How come most 2170s I've seen have 5 stud wheels, I've seen one video with one on 10 stud wheels?

[@kaylemrussell]

It is possible to upgrade 2000 series to 10 stud but this involves dismantling hubs

[@the13spanner]

@@kaylemrussell the frequent changing of wheels between row crops and flotation tyres meant that 10 studs would be more secure

[@Joey-ve7ku]

Class tractor. So expensive though .

[@javaquickscope7300]

I know a fella with a class

[@farmerstephen]

Reliable?? We have had fastracs for 10 years and have to change them every 3 years because they are so unreliable once they go out of warranty it would cost a fortune to repair. One of them had the engine out 3 times in the three years we had it.

[@farmerstephen]

For there speed, comfortably, and cost.

[@the13spanner]

and you also never dealt with Russell Fastraxx......... lots of dealers have let the Fastrac down badly. Not us however.

[@patrick0connell772]

Would love a 2135 but all I hear is horror stories

[@russellfastraxx3979]

2135 Fastracs are very reliable machines

[@patrick0connell772]

@@russellfastraxx3979 thanks something to think about now

[@Alexr-uf3zn]

Did they not have a minor problem of just going on fire 😂😂😂

[@cappstylecollins6816]

😂😂😂😂

[@2xxx2xxx21]

Yeah if the driver leaves handbrake on

[@the13spanner]

only if you neglect the handbrake and have oil leaks and straw etc all over the machine. Bad idea on any machine

[@johnclaffey7218]

What age is he? He looks barely old enough to shave never mind having a son starting to work on them.

[@the13spanner]

i am 41 thanks for asking John. My son Kaylem is 16
