Another TM1200 Epic Fail

[@jamesthompson6810]

Thank you for posting about this issue. If I look at used Vermeer mowers I will remember to look that spot over.

John deere load control shaft seals. Another great idea from John deere. My dad carried about ten of them around at all times they went out so often. Put a steel shaft through the bottom of the transmission then bend that shaft to control draft and bingo there goes another 2 dollar seal. Brilliant.

My fuss with Vermeer is they don’t have enough grease fittings in critical areas. I usually add several to my Vermeer equipment. This should have had a grease fitting on it, We also use WD-40 or 10w-30 oil on these ball and sockets. It’s not a perfect world but We have been very pleased with Vermeer Equipment.

You said that was a Premier pay you know you did not examine the equipment before you bought it. If you had gave it a good inspection, you wouldn’t be using the words that you were using that is choice words so you can’t borrow Premier premier did not put that piece on the tractor that’s broke, the person before you did that and it was Hughes and you should’ve checked it

You're supposed to pay off that $20,000 machine Buy getting fixed and up and running not stopping for the day to make a video about it. Especially on an issue that was broken prior to you purchasing it that you missed when you walked around and bought it. profit isn't going to be given to you on a plate, and if you work , things are going to break. Fix it and move on. I have a TM 1400 that I have run over almost 10k acers in the last 5 years, on fields way rougher than your nice meadow. I put some parts in it here and there, nothing outrageous. Sometimes you have to make your own luck by getting out and walking around and catching problems before they are breakdowns.. our TM 1400 has been the best purchase we have made in a long long time in terms of what it cost us and what it can do. Oh wait my John Deere that never breaks down is broken down. It's life man fix it and move on

Hey I have a question for you about your mower. I had to work on an mc3700 mower. My friend was cutting wheat crab grass. The mower was building up a rock hard Adobe mix in 45 minutes and getting into the head of the pins that hold the blades on running the pins. Its severely hurting the operation with all the down time cleaning out between the shoes and blades and replacing pins. Does yours do this? Looking for advice?

You just don't see a lot of John Deere disc mowers out there... As far as a baler, I haven't see a green baler that I want....now if they quit making a Vermeer...maybe.

Cut a field 2017 hit a hole in a customers field. Snapped the pitch control cylinder. Lots of money, and down time. I love the mower but very expensive when it goes down.

[@sporkamusprime4237]

You're telling me. My little red cylinder fix worked pretty well.

[@LONNIEWALKER22]

You should of saw that when u bought it, stop whining!

[@kountrytiger1999]

hate to see you having bad luck we ran vermeer products for years never any real trouble but if that had already been broke and welded not really vermeers fault just saying i would have told the dealier once he changed that out then we had a deal i really hope you the best i understand how upsetting it is.

[@steveogden1829]

Vermeer is several years behind on everything they make. They invented the round baler and let JD pass them up in no time.
