We have been trying out some new Volvo loaders for our outfit and have been having nothing but trouble with them.
The first one was a L120G that we rented for about three months it did good till it had and I'm quoting the Volvo mechanic "some kind of emissions problem I can't figure out what it is". It had to sent back to the factory to get fixed and last I heard they were still having trouble with it.
Then we had two more L120G's the one after about two days decided not to shift out of first and the other one didn't last an hour after it got there till it went to missing.
The last one we tried was a L150G that I personally ran. I was really happy with it till about 5 hours after I started running it. It went to missing and then would just stop moving and not throttle up then all of a sudden it would clear up and run fine then about 30 seconds later it would start doing it all over again.
Now we have had two Volvo's in the past a L150 that we put almost 20,000hrs on with very little trouble with and a L180E that has almost 10,000hrs on it. We have just bee very disappointed with these new Volvo's.
