Has anyone had any experiences with the Ford 7740 tractor? Good or bad?

Hi We owned two here in England.
First was terrible!! Clutch setting never right either jumped when oil hot or cold sometimes both.
Fords swapped it for new one for very little money, tires wear, after one year to keep us happy.
New one had blue roof on cab, old one white,and was supposed to be cured.It
it was better, but then after two years piece from dp broke and fell in gear box
Wrecked lots of gears and broke housing
Fords supplied parts but we had to pay labour.
After 1yr part of gear broke and made mess in gear box again, Fords not interested now but I suspect gear was damaged last time and not noticed!
Did deal with dealer and left it in his yard and now have 8360. Much better!!
