[QUOTE="dun, post: 419076, member: 34"] I was never a fan of JD, too much money, not as good as they claim, etc. I may have been unlucky and lucky. I had used (used up) internationals for years and they were good tractors but needed a lot of strange maintenace things done to them. Bought a new Long, darn good tractor, but little piddly things would go wrong, front spindle broke but Long blaimed it ona bad casting and made it right. Hard to shift, hard to start in really cold weather even with warmers and a glow plug but the main problem was things like the shift linkage rod breaking, sheet metal mounting pieces breaking. Traded it on on a used (750 hour) JF 5510. I've only put about 3k hours on it in the year and a half I've had it. I've changed filters and had to replace the windshield wiper, that's all the [i]problems[/i] I've had with it. The dairy uses all JD tractors, had one that the A/C kept going out on and the 3 pt would quit working. JD Made it right and it's been a really good reliable tractor since. So, as much as I hate to admit it, JDs are really worth the money. Case/IH and the others may be also, but if I need another tractor to use hard, it will be a JD [/QUOTE]
