Message: <blockquote data-quote="SkidTracks" data-source="post: 56021" data-attributes="member: 5570"><p>This is just some free advice, based on the lacking and poor response from J.D. and after it taking numerous weeks of messing in the field, a total of 6-weeks (1-week @ local dealer + 5-weeks @ selling dealer) in repair; only to get back a yellow boat-anchor (more repair work has to be done). If you are small business (less than several million dollars in size) or a person (aka small landowner/farmer), you would be wise to avoid the CTL-333D. If you are large operator who can afford N+1 machines (aka spare) or a business big enough to have a Lawyer (aka mega-bucks), thus having some clout with a global sized company, then proceed with a CTL-333D - forewarned. If this sounds to harsh, bare in mind; you (or your company) could be forced to deal with repair and service issues for as long as your warranty lasts (multiple years or thousands of machine hours). In short, your married to it. To be fair, part of my negative views, is the result of the selling dealer and selling dealer's company, failing to make proper repairs in a timely and reasonable manner and taking the issues seriously. Still the dealer's company is an authorized J.D. warranty repair center for the CTL-333D. Thus, design defects or manufacturing problems are J.D.'s responsibility to see are properly and promptly repaired. If I were J.D., I would have taken the "Bull by the Horns" to make things right with the customer (loaner or reimbursement for leasing similar machine) and I would have put the selling dealer's company on notice they risk being dumped as a dealer.</p></blockquote><p></p>
