ford 3000 JD5095M, 1500kabota, ford 600
Ok guys I know this maybe the wrong forum for this, we have ALWAYS been Ford people, trucks and tractors,,
But now we need a little bigger tractor ,, and after months I have it narrowed down between a NH Td 5050, and a JD 5095M
same horse, both with cabs, JD has 32 frwd 16 reverse,, NH 12by12,
NH has bigger tires front and rear,,
JD has beefier looking lift for the 3 point lift arms,
JD priced about $4000 HIGHER,,
JD built in GA,,well assembled in GA,,,,NH in Italy,,,
can anyone give an unbiased opinion?

when we buy a tractor,, we usually have them for life,,hopefully thats a LONG TIME YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I could be unbiased but can't. I went blue. Mainly because Green didn't have a front mount blower and also price. Don't think you can go wrong with either one.

What are you going to use it for? Do you need the bigger tires of the NH? The more forward gears of the JD?

What are your opinions of the JD and NH dealers?

I know this isn't true for everyone, but my comfort level (or lack thereof) with a dealer often helps me make a choice.

I own a TD5030 open station that I bought this year. I am very happy with it. I have no doubt that John Deere has an equally good model that I might be happy with as well. What led me to New Holland was the dealer. I am confident that my dealer will do what it takes to resolve any problem that I may have with my purchase. He also has very knowledgeable sales/service staff.

I guess my suggestion is to start with researching dealers.

It depends where you are.

Around here (Southern Oregon) as I drive around and look, there are a few older Fords, but almost no New Hollands. A lot of Deeres, and a few Kubotas. If you want to be able to get reasonable resale value here, go for the Deere.

Other places may be different, but buying what is most popular locally is always a good plan.

Every time you drive through the countryside you get a chance to do your own survey.

yep.. that ground up ca$h they must use for the paint pigment has always kept me away from them.

I agree.. both would be capable machines.

good luck

Cannot answer without bias. Have had relatively few issues with M series tractors. Love the wet clutches. Much improved over dry clutch system. Good tractor.
