Hi Wolfgang
I am considering putting the re-build on my 1000 on the side for a bit untill later this year and am now considering another tractor, being a 1100 or 1500 (both 443 series).
Would the UG3/40 be a stronger and more reliable transmission. I am asking this as I might be interested in buying a 1100 or a 1500 in the 443 series.
Both are in very good condition but the hours are quite high. The 1500 has 13000 hours on it but it actually looks superb and is mechanically very good. It has only been used for sparying crops. I am just concerned about the general wear over 13000 hours and by big concern of course is the transmission. It is an 1984 model.
If the tractor has only been doing light work should I be concerned with 13000 hours?
Regards,
Peter
