Hey Farmwithjunk, I used to enjoy your post and found them very informative as you have a lot of experience with tractors. But lately threads like these lead me to believe you just like to provoke people into a childish posting contest.
I respect you and your hard facts regarding tractors and implements. I look forward to you returning to better post than this one.
Peace, KB

Glad you enjoy some of what I have to say. Sorry for you that you don't like the rest of what I have to say. Trying not to sound like a wise ***** but don't read what you don't like. I speak to people in a language they can understand. When someone talks to me in a less than mature manner, I'll give 'em a dose of their own medicine.

you could make an argument for either side really. i don't try to get in the middle of something thats not my concern usually but I do own a JD....never owned anything else. heck i prefer a JD tractor(implements are another story). i'm currently shopping around at other brand right now as i look to find a new tractor but i will say i am more comfortable with a JD because i know them, know how to work on them, am familiar with the dealerships around my area, know i can get a part tomorrow....or even this afternoon if i need it. i do beleive in going into everthing with an open mind, and i have been so far, but i see very few things offered by other brands that would be enough to divert me away from green just yet(price included).

from my experience NH makes a darn good tractor as far as the Ag utility and row crop series' go. can't speak about the CUT line though. i see you own a Mahindra 5525. isnt that their newest series? how do you like it so far?

i looked at the tt series and the sheet metal was pretty thin. i could hit a fender with my fist and it would wobble endlessly. wasn't a fan of the plastic trim either. i had a 1720 before and it apparently was a lemon. my neighbor has one and he has had zero problems in 8 years.
just got the 5525 so i can't make a call on it yet. all i know is after 2 hours everything is still working

i could say the same thing about the Farmtrac i looked at awhile back. to me it was cheaply made and although it appeared to look like one of the old Ford's, i just didnt see the fit and finish of one. cheaper is not always better. if i have to pay $3,000 more for a JD that doesnt have thin fenders then so be it. let us know your opinion of that tractor after you get a few more hours undr your belt.
