See ya next week folks!
My old man is a red seal mechanic, pulled wrenches until they told him he was too old at 67, so he took a couple years off. Then got bored building bird houses and went back to the mines in north Sask for a couple more years. He still has a great potty mouth and one liners when it comes to "you bastard" companies.
They make shit like that on purpose so you can take it to the dealership to get riped off gust like the government a cartel that has us controlled
At 66 we still pull & push wrenches for ourselves & our neighboring 91 year old farmer, Bill, when he needs help. Bill still combines & swathes hay & grass seed!
Todays John Deere is run by a bunch fo goof trudeaus, Bill Gates, Buffets, Soros'z.... luckily there are so many other tractor companies, wonder which ones are a bunch of goofs and which ones arent
All the big manufactureres of everything are getting into subscription fees for options to work and to bleed all customers dry. Pure greed. Love your videos.
BMW now has yearly subscription for their heated seats ++++++++

Oh my gosh never in a million years would I have imagined I would watch a video about changing an alternator. What a hoot!
What is even more fun is when they look up from their parts computer and say: "That part is discontinued"!
I have a much smaller farm but the old orange tractor company has never pulled any of that GT crap on me. If they ever do I'll change colors. It's a tool not a fashion statement.
Love this video! My son is a mechanic & I know how hard he works. It’s ridiculous how big companies continue to bleed you out of your hard working money. I love to support our local small stores, they are the best. Thanks again for the info & for a great laugh today!👍🏻
This was a classic video, and very accurate. Luckily JD hadn't linked that up to a computer to deny any aftermarket. My mother has a new JD tractor that won't allow you to do anything or the computer starts flashing. What a business model.
Nothing like a co.pany that charges you untold thousands and then still thinks they own the product. BMW has recently started a subscription for things like heated seats capability. The hardware is there, but they want more money to make it work. Fucking bastards.

The only reason they have that sort of power is the proprietary software they offer, in my opinion. Rather than buying a tractor, you're buying the software package for yield monitoring, GPS mapping, autosteer, etc. The thing is that most of the software isn't that complicated. If Farmer Joe down the road had a son taking a BSci in computer science who actually had some work ethic, Farmer Joe would be set. I had a feeling that if more farmers pooled some cash together and worked with open source software developers, they could make pretty workable alternatives. Sure, JD would probably come out with new software with flashier features just to tempt people to buy their new expensive garbage, but you'd still basically be able to do everything they do. A huge advantage, though, of those huge tractor companies is how much yield data they've collected, which they can use to optimise everything. There's no easy solution, I guess, but supporting local initiatives would sure help break the monopoly. We used to have a lot of domestically produced tractors. Now they're all American, European, or (in the case of Versatile) Russian.
As a mechanic, I admire and respect you farmers.
What a disgrace!! its a money grab at every turn for so many of these greedy companies - cars, machinery, all of it. Great video QDM. always appreciate truths being spoken.
They talk about being "green" these days and it is all such a crock. How about building good quality parts that last longer and can be fixed if they do fail so you don't have to get an entirely new or reman component that had to get shipped from Mexico/China/Etc. Less consumption = better for the planet and everyone. Farmers always get the worst of it, they buy everything retail and sell everything wholesale.... Keep up the great work Quick Dick, there are a lot of us that appreciate what you do!!
I bought a used tractor from TYBTC back in the early 70s. It was about 20 years old and ran like a charm during the 20 years that I used it.The shit that they sell now won't ever last that long. Thanks for you always appreciated videos, QD.
Once the Computer goes, these farmers will pay through the azz, only to be replaced through the dealer.
I remember way back when you could buy the individual parts ( diode trio's, brushes, bushings etc) to actually repair alternators for just a few bucks. Was my first part time job when I was 15 (was a paper boy before that) at the Electric Motor Shop in Dartmouth NS. Mechanics don't repair jack shit anymore, they change out parts and assemblies. Thank goodness I became a machinist. I can make things that wear out myself.
Thats because there are now more fitters than mechanics out there, fitters= part fitters
An alternator with such low hours would most likely have a carbon brush issue , cheap ,soft carbon or stuck in the brush holder . Pressure washers are great 😏🙄 for forcing crap into alternators .IMHO.
You still can buy the parts. They companies that do the "remans" do as little as possible and reuse most of the old parts. That is why the remans don't last. If I was mcdik I'd eat the core charge and keep the bad alternator. Send it out to someone whom can actually rebuild it properly.
The manufacture's have figured out a way that solders on all the parts you used to unbolt. Nobody carries the parts and it's extremely difficult to de-solder and replace the parts.
@@garrybrischke53 In my experience on alternator overhaul...cheap diode arrays. It's the diodes that crap out.
And it's getting harder to find these parts....not even NAPA sells rebuild kits anymore.
I worked for two different dealerships that sold YBTC equipment. I started out as a mechanic, then to service manager, then to salesman, then to sales manager, and finished up as store manager. That span was 25 years and 62 days. Then I semi retired. Between my sons and I we own 132 pieces of YBTC equipment. The oldest being a 1937 tractor(our family owned since new) The newest is a 4 year old round baler. Right after we got that baler our local dealer got bought out by a 28 store chain. The parts prices jumped right away. The shop rates went up 50% in two years. 75% of our parts are now bought from after market suppliers. Using your alternator as an example, you can buy two of them without any warranty and still be cheaper than the YBTC company's one remanufactured alternator.
P.S.A few years ago we replaced our combine and it was with a red one. First time since 1958 that a YBTC combine did not harvest our crop.
If you were in a dealership for that long then you would know the dealer gave incorrect information on the warranty. YBTC will not cover labor if not installed by a certified YBTC technician...
If your dealership was so great why was it bought out? Why wasn’t it the dealer buying up other dealers? Farmers get the dealership they deserve
@@oilplug Do you know anything about the internal politics at YBTC corporate????
You start/own a YBTC dealership and build it up over your life time. Then when you decide to sell your store or even pass it on to your family YBTC "tells" you who you can and who you can not sell or transfer "YOUR" dealership to. In the store I worked at YBTC would not allow the sale to a group of employees and customers. We had double the required capital reserves but the YBTC territory manager wanted the dealership to sell to another store. That store did buy the dealership but ended up having to sell all their stores 4 years later due to financial problems.
YBTC also changed the dealership contract 17 years ago to favor multi dealership groups. This has has added to the pressure a single store Dealership faces. As of right now I only know of ONE single store dealership in the three state area around where I live.
So the good or bad of your local dealership does not have much to do with whether or not your local store will stay the same.
@@JDseller1 YBTC is meant to be better than the red variety for limiting the size of multi dealerships. Also, YBTC have a better rep for sorting out issues for customers than red. Plus they have better parts support for older equipment. And I'm a red fan.
@@disturbedcarrot YBTC actively pushes for larger dealership groups. Their sales volume payments/bonuses are a huge way they do this. They have raised the minimums to start to get payments to where smaller dealership groups, can easily be getting 4-5% less than larger dealership groups.
So when this effects the smaller dealership's profitability YBTC comes in and tells that dealership they have to get bigger or sell out. The YBTC limits who they can sell to. I have family in Southern Ohio. AG Pro is buying any dealership they can get their hands on. A very good 4 store group, got forced to sell just a few years ago. The groups options was to sell to Ag Pro or no longer be a YBTC dealership. No other dealership group would be approved by YBTC. AG Pro has over 80 stores now. First thing they did is to charge 10% over suggested dealer list for parts.
I will readily admit YBTC has a superior parts network. You can get parts faster and for older stuff than with CIH or AGCO.
The main trouble is YBTC is creating monopolies in areas for "new" equipment. Right now I set in the middle of an eleven store group. If I would want to go 100 miles away to buy new YBTC would not give that dealership the same sales incentives as the chain where I live. So YBTC is trying to force us to buy off this group. So there is zero free market.
We went a different route. Three years ago we switched to CIH combines. We have four different dealership groups (within 70 miles) that can give us pricing with all of them working off the same sales incentives.
This coming spring there will be two new Blue corn planters setting in our shed. YBTC thinks they can force us farmers to bend a knee to them. Well in this family YBTC is losing that bet. The sad part is that for 70 years this family was really loyal to YBTC. YBTC does not think families like mine are the future of farming so they seem to not care if we do business with them or not. My family bought this farm in 1847. I have four sons farming with eight grand sons kicking. I think we will be here in the future. Who knows that about YBTC>

Quick, your the kinda Dick that could lend a hand, by spreading the word, by keep on making this Great content.
Have an Awesome day Sir.
Right to repair is a red herring
You can buy technical and service manuals and computers and the software
Except it’s not free nor should it be
60% of parts bought at a dealership are not put on by a dealership
Most parts departments top 10 customers include at least 1 independent installer
@@oilplug and it looks like a BMW alternator too.
@@oilplug Literally never heard anyone argue that it should be free? That sounds like a red herring. New John Deere equipment is made to lock you out if anyone but the dealer works on anything computer related. And these machines nowadays have so many computers and sensors in them it's cost-prohibitive to change them all. And no, JD will NOT sell you the electronics you need directly. They've made a big stink about putting them in themselves, arguing they need to work on them to prevent people bricking something.
And again right to repair bs. Can people read the data strem? Does you chevy give codes on the dash like tractors. Didn't think so.
@@patricksittre2847 So you can read the code without needing a $10 OBDII reader. Doesn't really help when John Deere's building them so you can't actually fix any of the electronic-related codes without locking the machine up.
The instruction from the toilet seat is priceless!!!
LOL. That was one of the best structured videos I have ever seen. I never thought changing an alternator would be that entertaining. Hats off to you sir!!!
I was a Mechanic in the Airforce, working on fighter jets and then helicopters. When I was in Portage la Prairie, I visited my grandmothers farm in Saskatchewan and did do a bit of work on a You Bastard Tractor. I noticed the Roundel on your truck window. Thanks QDM

@@QuickDickMcDick Legend response
Gee I couldn’t in a million years figure out who the “ you bastard” tractor company is. That’s hilarious 👍
I've been knowing that for years QDM ! When we were farming down here in Southwest Louisiana we had a few different tractor brands on the farm ! We found out that we could get remanufactered tractor, and combine parts from our local auto parts store, and save BIG TIME !! Back in 1984 our 4020 You Bastard Tractor Company decided to drop a piston !! The engine overhaul kit from YBTC was in the $3,000's and an Engine overhaul kit form NAPA (Poppa's favorite joke with NAPA was "MAIS NAPA IS DON'T HAVE !") means don't have in Acadian French !🤣🤣🤣🤣 I still say it today ! Ok back to the story ! The engine overhaul kit from NAPA was $1,200 or so !! We went with NAPA, because the YBTC didn't have the kit on hand, and NAPA had it the next day ! From what I can guess the tractor is still running today !!
Back when I owned my own motor grader, you had to provide a credit card where they would pre charge you $1000.00 before the yellow bassturd company would dispatch a service truck. I never had a bill smaller than $1000.00. They make some nice motor graders, but source your repairs elsewhere. Just to not confuse people, Yellow Bassturd Company rhythms with Paterhillar.
At my job we run new cats, we are so far from everywhere. The yellow or green stealership is going to charge us $2k just for the service truck to show up if its not a warranty repair.
Are there any good alternatives to cat equipment?
I did an alternator replacement on a -20°C day in Iowa, except that it was on a T680 truck manufactured by the WTF Corporation, who bring you both the Holy F::k AND Holy S::t brands (I believe BluBall is the latter.). It has an alternator manufactured by the DENSO company of Japan. These are pretty good, but anyone with a Dodge knows that when they finally up and die, you’d best have saved up some pennies, because they are a tad pricey. This one was $750 US dollars list price. The dealer didn’t charge that, and even delivered it right to me because their delivery guy was “going that way” in a half hour. Having neither the cat or dog along for the ride, I did the replacement myself. In the truck world, you usually get a year of warranty on dealer parts, and usually they last well beyond that anyway.
I love the direct and to the point messages you put out on your videos with a huge injection of humour!! I support farmers!!! :)
Watching this video reminds me of the days when I used to rebuild alternators... We had modified most of our equipment to use single wire AC Delco alternators so swapping and rebuilding was super easy.
I did the same up until about 20 years ago. Sadly in this day and age the electronics in most equipment require an alternator that supports them.
But yeah those one wire Delcos were great, I put them in everything. They can be rebuilt in less then and hour even with a coffee break included and if you needed more amps you could swap stators or rotors or both to increase output.
I'm glad to see quickdick is complying with the Saskatchewan tool regulations requiring the use of non-impact sockets until they have completely grenaded at which then it is appropriate to use impact sockets.
Take the dead alternator to a shop that reconditions them and keep it as a spare.
should be cheap because it wasn't the bearings that failed
Can you actually find a shop thar rebuilds alternators? I don't know of anyplace within 200 miles that rebuilds anything
I especially like the newer Green and Yellow tractors that detect if you do your own work and can be remotely shut down until one of their technicians "fix" it.....
How could it detect who's working on it?
@@wesleycooper2647 It's a new "feature" that JD came out with a few years ago. Mostly related to the electronics. The new equipment is so computerized it would shock you and it doesn't take much for a sensor or electronic component to report changes. Like a Tesla the JD will report back to HQ. If they don't like what they see the machine is remotely shut down for your safety of course. And then you get the "feature" of a "qualified" tech to come and fix your tractor.
Very often, the alternators that went into your tractor and light aircraft are exactly the same as the ones that went into cars. Just different paper work for aircraft. It be even cheaper than $275 if you can find out which component failed inside the alternator, the major components inside are the stator,(a big ring of copper coil) rotor, bearings, brush assembly , voltage regulator (if internal) and diode set. The whole alternator are being held together with just a few bolts and my prime suspect would be the diodes, held by another couple of bolts. The bearings would be obvious enough, and usually , it is the front bearings. You will hear noise, and feel it if you turn the pulley by hand. Cost like lunch money to buy new ones. For some Delco units , you need a wire or paper clip through a hole to keep the brushes away while you put the alternator casing together, don't forget to pull the clip out later. The smart ones also mark the casing with a marker before splitting it for proper orientation when you re assemble it.
Holy Hell, Quick Dick, I learned more from your how to replace an alternator tutorial than I have from 30 years with my dad (60 year farmer) & 20 years with my husband (35 yr Red-Seal Diesel mechanic)...but I might have been actually been paying attention to your video🤣
I follow you totally brother. We live on farm in south central Pennsylvania. We have had the exact same problems with our equipment. Local techs would do some of the hard core computer stuff on the side under the table. Nope! Cat blew a head gasket about about them doing that and threatened to fire them. So that is out the door now. Back to $175 an hour if u want it done. Just do 99% myself. Good rant man
Language was very appropriate when dealing with YB Tractor Company. We got the same problem in the states.....
Quick Dick, there is options out there for parts like this! take your old one to Phoenix Starters and Alternators in Saskatoon and have them rebuild it with quality parts, it will most likely last forever! I have a Heavy equipment repair business and use them exclusively! never had a issue. Also look up for private Heavy Duty Technicians in your area, most are ex YBTC Techs and are a lot cheaper and do better work because we care about the customers!
That's all fine and dandy, but when you're running your equipment in the high season, you can't afford to have it down for a week or more waiting for some shop to rebuild an alternator for you.
@@redmondjp My shop does the rebuild within a day as long as parts are available or in stock(which they usually are) and/or will give me another one they rebuilt(during slow times) for slightly more if I need it RIGHT now
@@redmondjp phoenix has most alternators in stock!
Exactly why I have older red tractors!!!
After all of the BS you have to go through to get an alternator, I think I would look into getting the old alternator rebuilt and keeping it for a spare. My tractor is from the U Bastard Tractor Company too. Green paint ain't what it used to be. Best of luck Dick. 👍
Just get a GM automobile part. Waaaay cheaper.
Go to a truck junkyard
I got mime from Napa. Just a generic alternator anyway, of course mime are all older than his tractor too. But I have rebuilt a few as well. Pretty simple to do. There are kits out there for anyone that wants to do it. Also there are usually local guys that do that. So why not support local
BRAVO my friend. YBTC can be ANY color you choose. They are ALL getting that way. Even HD is doing that with their motorcycles. And they wonder why we are MAD enough to CHEW NAILS!!!!
What's worse is all that usually fails in an alternator is the electronic module that''s probably only a few diodes but they seal it with epoxy so you need to buy a whole alternator, where the "re-manufacturing" process is really a 5 minute module swap. Electronics failure is the keystone of planned obsolescence.
That's the cleanest thing in your tractor, man.
Nothing runs like a Deere, if you could afford it. The helpers on the farm are the wise ones all they do is watch, look cute and they get feed. 🐶🐱
The YBTC also does forestry equipment. The parts price and availability are terrible. A lockout valve for our knuckle boom loader for the stabilizer legs is $2000 (USD). There are 4 of them on the machine. The valve will fit in the palm of your hand. It's outrageous!!!
Awesome stuff as usual Quick Dick! 175 an hour is highway robbery for an alternator. JD/YBTC should be ashamed. Keep 'em coming!
Whew, lot of anger coming through in this video! I'm not a tractor user even, but I've been picking up a lot of dissatisfaction with the UBTC lately. UBTC better get more user friendly, before they loose all the goodwill they've built up over the years, if they haven't already. UBTC, you're on a downhill slide right now, corrective action is called for! Tractor users are a creative and "make do" bunch - they will "make do" you right out of business if you don't straighten up!
well put , could not agree more but karma takes along time
Don't you know...it's all the rage to cash out that "brand equity".
I’m not a farmer but I have worked many a fall for a buddy back home in Saskatchewan who is a farmer/rancher and he’s a big YBTC supporter, 98% of his equipment is YBTC. This is where I grew my affinity for the YBTC. I had moved and changed vocations about 20 years ago and this spring I decided to upgrade my YBTC lawn tractor to a sub-compact with a backhoe, mower deck and snow blower from YBTC. The salesman wouldn’t even take the time to do a proper quote, he gave me some scribbled numbers on a sticky note…..I know that YBTC typically sell themselves based on colour and reliability but come on…….. Great work QDM, I really enjoy your video’s, they take me back home to Sask…..bunny hug’s, Ice cold Pil or the odd time Boh!
I like how you use the toilet office when describing companies who view their customers like things they flush.
And that is why I’m an independent repair shop and have made a living, (not richly), since 1988.
keep up the good work. Been a mechanic for 30 plus years. The parts gouging is just getting worse. Run for PM, I would vote for ya.
We have headed into another world. Even the machinery company’s have lost their minds too. Just outta control
Absolutely love the way you did this video and thanks for having the balls to say something
Thank you Quick Dick, for sharing this with us. Give the YBTC what they deserve!
Easy peasy lemon squeasy...
Gee, there, Quick,
You make it look easy.
No wonder farmers soon become mechanics.
Or they would all soon be in a panic.
Owning a tractor's gotta be tough enough,
Without having to worry about part replacement stuff..
So, do the math, and think it through.
Do whatever you gotta do...
And share your videos far and wide.
The world sees you, and is on your side.
Good job, QDM!

I can still remember when you could get a rebuild kit for a 60 Amp Delco for about $25 from peavey mart.
That bastard looks mighty green mighty mighty green
I go through the same things with replacement parts for my Acura. I have found a great website that sells factory parts for a fraction of what the dealer charges. There's an old saying for auto dealers and their service bays: "The back pays for the front."
We are always learning. Shop around, prices are all negotiable. Thank you for posting.
Great video Quick! I am so thankful I have farm based experienced mechanics as my neighbors. They know how to fix things and get the best parts for your money!
I was driving a deere and another worker had ruined the wiper motor, or gear. It's a quarter of a million dollar tractor. I asked why it wasn't getting fixed because a motor costs 1200. It was snowing like crazy and I was driving blind. 😑🤦🏼♀️ wiping it every min with my arm trying to feed the cows.
It’s happening across all consumer sectors, and has been for years. I just bought $125 of printer ink for my $200 printer.. that came with ink to begin with. Planned obsolescence is a disgusting practice, and the corporations that commit it should be punished!
I once bought a new printer cos it was cheaper than buying a set of cartridges and they gave me a pack of paper.
I had a printer where the ink replacement costed more than the printer was worth. That isn't even something i can wrap my head around.
It's SO dam unfortunate that parts aren't made in Canada when they easily can be. We need to start bringing back manufacturing here in Canada.
Same here in Italy, YBTC is really grinding farmers' balls lately-namely mines. Reman parts I guess are good for recycling, less for being time and money efficient though.
At least I can say that the alternator we installed 2 years ago is still up and running
This is why I still use a 1953 MF 35 3 cylinder diesel
I’m in Australia ( hot place). Have Austria built tractor. AC motor stopped working so we tested everything power was going in but motor dead. Found manufacturers label and rang them in Melbourne (international company). Got very helpful person on line this is what he said. Tractor co paid for tooling dies and got X number made and then took dies. If manufacturer could make motor they would charge about $650 AU (500 US). So then rang tractor co. Their price over $1600 AU. HOWS THAT FOR A RIP-OFF
Wow
Everyone needs to support The Right To Repair Act.
I see why the first one fail. You used a chrome socket on your impact when changing out the pulley. 😁
It's best to use that rusty one laying in the bottom of your tool box that got left outside during a rain storm.
I just paint all mine black then we are good to go
Brian Benedix your last name sounds just like what an Italian mechanic changes on a starter that’s sticking on the ring gear. 👍🏼
Haha love the video. On a side note though. As on-road (seasoned) mechanic myself. The right thing to do on a alternator replacement job, is to check the battery and clamps as well. This includes physically checking the electrolyte level and CLEANING the battery posts. Half of the alternators I replace are failed due to shitty batteries or those bolt on battery clamps. Alternators are NOT generators and heavily rely on a good connection and prevent constant heavy draw. They are maintainers not chargers.
Like NEVER charge dead batteries with them.
It is all about not paying the warranty. The alternator is just a small piece of the big pie. Big corporations do not wanna make it easy to collect warranty because everybody would do it then and they would lose millions. Corrupt ain't it. They are not the only ones that do this every corporation in the country does the same thing.
If it's who I think it is, I've been waiting on a seal for a loader on one of their tractors since April. About to return the seals I already bought and go to an independent hydraulic store for replacements.
my dad bled green and yellow. I decided to go to Vermeer after my service was starting to suffer on my baler and tractors. I doubt I'll ever get rid of the 77 and 78 10 tractors I got because you can find after market parts pretty easy for those. Ive just realized that youre better off outsourcing and finding literally EVERYTHING you may need. But everything else If the parts department is good and if the can't get the part ASAP they'll walk a mile over broken glass to get it. they got my business. equipment is only as good as the service department standing behind it.
Wow! That is so spot on! Now I may be in need of a ventilator after laughing so hard.🤣🤣🤣
They wanted $1300 for the full fuel sender on our mt835. I took the pickup off the top of it and found the manufacturer $160 usd plus shipping and duty
I have a "YBTC" machine, a 1985 ... Happly, as a retired engineer, and machinist, etc. I do all my own work ... no custom electronics ... I definately support "Right to Repair" !!!
Excellent to be able to do things yourself but even better to find a local and ideally a non chain shop that is trustworthy. Sounds like you've got a good one.
Nate
Wilson has been doing a great job with reman for commercial and farm equipment for a while now. And they stand behind the product
At least we could get a proper reach around. I use all states ag parts or Amazon. They have a one year warranty no matter what.
We bought Versatile in 1976 and are still driving them out here in Australia and do all our own spannering

This was just GREAT!! Your points can be used for so many other pieces of equipment and their parts!

Yup the same with many mechanical stuff with cars and trucks.
Great video and how true it is thanks for your time and work putting all this together.
Third video in and I realize I need to go back and watch your channel from the beginning. 🤣
This doesn't just affect the farming industry... I work on a service rig and companies are trying to bleed us with maintenance costs.

I love the tropico music in the background.
Just had my torque converter changed on my truck, dealership wanted almost $700 for the part I found it online for $350 but they don't know where the parts come from and it's not someone they deal with. Same part number and the site just sells those company parts. Besides, I mean come on...we all know all the parts come from the same place
LOOOOL!!! I'm not into farming per-se, but I absolutely LOVE your videos. I hope John... errr You Bastard Tractor Co. will get the message.
I hear you QDM. They don’t even supply a tub of vaseline at the counter of the YBTC.
Anybody else love Lewis rossman. He's been on the right to repair him for years
I've been bleeding green and yellow since I was two. At least for my old tractors there are a lot of aftermarket parts. What I despise the most is the dealership monopoly the green and yellow YBTC has created.
Classic McDick video !! Love it !!! 👍👍
So I grew up on the farm and was taught from a young age that the engineers that design equipment have no concept of being able to make anything repairable. They only think about how t make the product with no after-thought to repairs. So I went out and became and engineer in the hopes of changing this stigmatism. Unfortunately most engineers live in an office and stay in front of a computer doing their craft. Should have a requirement of so much field/in use time to keep your job. Thank you QD PS, I went into the Oilfield where you still fix stuff with a hammer and a big wrench.
You are blaming the wrong group of people. Accountants decide how serviceable something is.
Love the video- the tractor you were working on has a very familiar shade of green I have seen before
Would this be the same tractor company that there's lawsuits in the United States going so that farmers can plug in their own computers to read the codes so that they can fix their own equipment. Probably

Great video and editing. Love the commentary from the crapper too.
It is an absolutely ludicrous practice. It hold helps their brand if they support and defend their ‘official parts’ network/distribution… especially after they double the price (before the $175 an hour X 2). Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Cheers!
Shop rate is ridiculously low. Good mechanic earns $35-45 an hour. Service truck rigged out is at least $300 000. Your going to invest another $50 g in training,laptops, software, insurances, Burn through a set of tires a year diesel $2 plus dollars a litre. Lot of jobs have to go right to pay for that. It has to be passed along. While competing against other brands and independents
Call up Finning and see what there rate is $200 plus
Thanks QD, you and common sense always makes my day, thanks. 😉
Most companies will happily sell you something under the guise of superior customer service, but never actually stand behind the product. If I had a nickel for every time I had to push these companies just to honour (something they don't have), the products, displayed warranty, I'd have enough to buy a new alternator (installed).
Ha ha Quick, good one. Went to YBTC last fall to buy a new loader chore size tractor. Got told needed 160HP to feed round bales when all I wanted was 120 max, so stopped by an orange dealer on way home. We bought a tractor we needed and the service manager told me if I had any issues phone him day or night at home. And best part, don’t need a technician and his laptop to drive 2 hrs to fix anything!!
Waiting on haybine parts this morning so this one hit close to home. Loved it.
I've had a couple of those Orange tractors. The last one I bought new came with a 5 year warranty. What a scam that warranty was. Never used it once! Stupid tractor never broke down so I could test the warranty! Unfortunatly now I have a You Bastard tractor that is little more comfortable but more expensive and less reliable.
Hilarious! Also infuriating. Thank goodness for these other parts supply companies! Watched this one twice just so my husband could see it...in case he ever needs to change the alternator on our orange tractor 😂. Thanks, Quick Dick!
It's such a shameful money-grab! I love Peanut & Axle - I LMAO at the conversation you had with the cat! 😂
