Discussion concerning Utility Tractors 85 - 115 Hp John Deere, Case, Kabota

talking about stock?? I did the same thing earlier this year

You can't go wrong with the 6105d it's a solid tractor. I have Ferguson and John deere and just unloaded a MCcormick. The john deere's have been more reliable than the Ferguson. The mccormick was a total lemon. If i had to chose right now with the new tractors out there I would seriously look at the New Holland T5 series cause getting parts for the John Deeres has gotten to be a hassle. They have every part for a damn lawn mower you need but don't stock crap for tractor parts but that may just be a regional thing. I have actually had to go to the New Holland place to get a rim for one of my John Deeres

How so they compare with price to the JD?

I have run all of those brands in that HP range

john deere bar none.
the case seemed very underpowered and we were always working on it.

JD all the way IMO

cat is very nice. repairs are expensive and generally they are heavier than the JD. that's why dad chose the JD backhoe over the cat. but yea it's good equipment

Oh, and the Versatile is a lot less expensive.

In that horsepower range, Deere all the way. Driven a 6400, 7400, 7610, and own a 6410. Have driven New Hollands equivalent to the 6100 and its not a contest. Have only driven Cases 7110 and 8910- TONS of power from the 8.3 and fairly reliable but the Deere is still the nicer piece. I have never driven a Kubota in that hp range.

The 6410 has 2600 hours on it and so far its needed new injectors and a PTO module (holy $$$$). Been haying with it every summer since '98. The little turbo is tough on the oil (changing every 150 hours). I'd rather have the 7400 with the 6 cylinder, but you take what you can get.

Nothing is as comfortable to work all day as a john deere

I've never experienced autosteer.

I do know that a syncshuttle cab and air deere is pretty much as good as it gets.
