Bardstown,KY | I had a 8630 that I bought in 1998 and sold it in 2003 ,learned more about how to work on a tractor than I wanted to.I don't really understand why they give so much trouble the same setup works great in many other tractors. I didn't even work mine very hard ,before I bought mine I had a neighbor tell me to by a 8430 instead of a 8630 but looked so much alike that I went with the 8630 when I found one .He ran his 84 with little trouble and I worked on mine all the time.
Did the transmission twice once the top shaft locked up have no idea why ,the 2 time the top shaft locked up because the pin came out of the spider gears and knocked the oil line off the back of the shaft while driving down the road ,trashed it.
Maybe I just had bad luck but seems that others have had bad luck also. I would not buy a 8630 the others I know nothing about when I was trading tractors the other models reminded me to much of my old trctor to buy one ,they may be great tractors. Im sure there are some people that like there 8630 JMHO.
I like my 8300 alot better untill I hook to our scraper than I don't have enough tractor. | |
