what is the difference in these models?

Looking at various used tractors. Local dealer has a jd 5085m an a 5083e. Both are priced relatively the same. The 83 has about 400 hours less. Both have loaders. Would be using them for cattle work.

The M is a slighly heavier tractor with more gears. The older E's had awkward 3pt controls but the 2012 and up has the same cab as the M. Both would be fine for a beef farm but the E doesn't have much 3pt lift capacity.
