I'm in the process of buying a 2016 5085e. The tractor has just under 1000 hours on it.
Is there anybody out there that has put some hours on one of those units?
How is the general performance? Issues with aftertreatment including DEF?
My main task will be feeding and handling bales and then some general work around the property including snow removal. Cold start capability is a must. I understand, that a funktioning block heater is crucial.
I test drove it on the dealer's lot and concentraded on the funktion of the brakes since some previous models in the E series had issues there. With the loader about two feet off the ground and in 4wd mode, it lifted the rear end when I stepped on the brakes. It passed.
