    Brakes are main point.
    They mightened be working or they may be sticking.

    Oil leaks be it from bell housing or back brakes.

    Torque bands. Lever beside steering wheel.
    There is a low torque built by bands and a high torque ran by a pump.
    If either are lacking then it's a splitting job.

    Pto may always be running splitting job again

    That's the main downfalls

    I've drove crystal types all my life, never had any of the problems above, they were hard on brake fluid and seals alright but easy replaced.
    I had a 10245 and the engine crocked after two thousand hours and i got rid because I just wasn't happy with it, and the engine has blew up twice since I sold it in 2007, I never had to do an engine in any of the others and they're supposed to be soft

    Some of the later models have a 40k box and as a result are more sought after.

    Just for clarification it's actually a 35 k box
    Most 8011s had a 25 box
    Bigger wheels leave them 30 and 40 k speed tho

    Not as fast as moderm machinery .
    The last of them the pumps were faster due to a larger inlet on them
    No problems wrapping bales with one.
    No problems lifting double bale handlers or 4 furrow ploughs
