- Ford: '88 3910 Series II, '80 3600, '65 3000; '07 6530C Branson with FEL, 2020 LS MT225S. Case-IH 395 and 895 with cab. All Diesels
I bought my 6530 as shown, new in '07. It replaced a JD 4230DC (100 hp row crop 2wd) had and is currently running it's implements. Apparently I am happy with it as I bought it's little brother in 2016 without shopping any other badge. I do my own work and do not need any dealer connectivity so having one next door is not necessary for me. A parts list and UPS is all I need. Had I needed such and a field servicing contract and somebody to do all my maintenance then I would have bought a JD which I advised my new neighbors to do and they did and they are happy.
