Fourtrak 2.8TD - common problems?

Forum: 

Hi everyone,

just signed up as I am considering buying one of the above. Could anybody give me a quick rundown of common problems with this model?

I'm looking at the lower end of the price range but I need something reliable for work so I don't want to go in totally blind.

Not fussed about a high milage model either - but how high is too high?

Cheers for any help,
Mike.

Many posts have been submitted over the years, search these and this will become apparent.

As for mileages, we have local vehicles with over 500,000 miles on them, these are still on their original engines, but have been religiously serviced and maintained, despite the fact they are working vehicles on farms.
