2025 Harvester Buyer Beware: These 10 Models Are Known to Fail!

#6 AGCO Ideal 10T

If you don't want to shell out for both the tech and the upkeep, then steer clear of the AGCO Ideal 10T. It comes with a hefty price tag---around $600,000---and that's just the start. Its advanced sensors and auto-adjustments can be a real hassle, requiring fine-tuning, with about 10% of machines facing calibration issues. These hiccups can lead to grain damage and unexpected downtime when you need it the least. Plus, with all its high-tech features, maintenance costs can quickly outpace those of simpler models.
