JX85 Delivered!

[twabscs]

Hi All,

I'm now both a NH and Case man. Dealer delivered my JX85 late Thursday night and I finally got to spend some time with the tractor today. Took some pics to share with everyone. Here's the tractor being delivered.

Here's one from today after working with the grapple a bit.

Overall I'm very happy with the purchase. Takes a bit getting used to after driving the TC40D for two years. It has the 12 speed shuttle and I really like driving it compared to the hydro. My dealer is both a NH and Case dealer and I was originally looking for a TN or TL. The JX85 is a bit bigger than the TNs and a bit smaller than the TL (and less expensive). It has a turbo 238 cu and has plenty of power.

I know that aren't many JX owners but I think someone here has a JX75. Hoping there might be some other JX owners as well.

Thanks,

If you don't mind can you give a breakdown on pricing for your JX?

The JX was sitting on the lot and dealer said he only made a profit on the loader and disc mower. I paid $35.5k for the tractor (w/loader, two remotes, plumbing for grapple, link ends, 84" HD bucket, QA, radio), and $6.5k for the 616, 8' disc mower. Financed it all at 3.5% for 5 years. This is a mixed rate as the tractor was 3.9 and the mower was 2.9 or something like that.

I shopped around, but I like this dealer, they are large, close to home (10 miles), and have good relationship with owner. I can call them on Sunday to get a part if needed.

Hi Rex,

Yeah, I saw your old posts about your JX75 and the price. I was hoping that price didn't include a cab or I was really over paying! I got the cab and extra 10 HP for the $5K. I'm real happy with the tractor so far, but only have about 3 hours on her. We'll have to keep in touch.

I have a 6' BB on my TC40 but haven't decided on getting one for the JX. I think a good heavy duty 7' would be fine. I have a LandPride (BB2572) and it has held up very well.

How is your tractor holding up?

I have 08 model JX80 and JX95 and am looking for another 80 or 85 2WD platform.

My son had a JX95 but it overheated all the time . So he swapped it in on a JX105 105 doesn't over heat but I like driving the 95 much better. I know it crazy that one is easier to drive than the other but they are .. Oh ours are 4x4 also.

PaPitt i just purchased a CaseIH 75C from Hendershot..They have a store in Decatur...Cab, FEL the works..I can't wait to get to work with it..Coastal hay and general purpose around the Ranch..Got any thoughts you want to relay on to me...Good-Bad...!!

.. 75 I may ask how big is your cutter .. Rooster uses his to bale with mostly. But then he does pull a 12 or 14 disk & grain drill this fall.
Rooster has one of the new Vermeer double wide cutters . It's the wides one the make but he has to pull it with His 4640JD everything else gets hot ..
... That big cutter is for sale if you know anyone interested.
..........
... I do think you'll Love your tractor unless it runs hot. Those 2 Rooster has had sure do drive nice & plenty of creature comforts.
