Will this tractor fit my needs? JX1095N

Is it smoking all the time or does it clear up after a minute or two? What color is the smoke....blackish or a blue grey....and how does the smoke smell, burned oil or burned fuel?

Thanks for all the input everyone! But it turns out that the Case I was looking at is sold. Apparently, my salesman thought it was not sold, but it is.

No luck finding any rental returns Case/NH here, so I'm probably going to have to look for other brands.

Most rental return tractors here are all sold out (for most of the brands). The only brand that still have some in my area is John Deere. It looks like I'll be grabbing a 5093EN or 5101EN open cab, which is very similar to my 5500N, so this will be perfect.

I know this is a case forum, but one quick question. I had the option of going for two different kinds of tire setup for the John Deere. I don't remember exactly the tire size number, but I do know one of the rear tire setup is 16.9x24. And that the other tire setup is smaller than that (around 14xx something).

My question is, what is the advantage of going for bigger tires? More traction? and anything else? I'm thinking of going for the bigger ones, since my 5500n had similar tire setup. Only con I could see is that it makes the tractor bigger, but this is a pretty good narrow tractor, so it shouldn't make a huge difference.

the larger tires will help with your disking for traction and, as long as they are at the right inflation pressure, will help with soil compaction. Just make sure they fit in your rows without interfering with your foliage/plants. Remember, depending on your plants and management, think about the foliage interference with future growth in mind.
