[QUOTE="Tennessee Cattleman, post: 1221307, member: 1497"] I have been thinking some about trading tractors. Looking for a replacement for a 20+ year old 6300 Deere with cab, SyncroPlus transmission, loader and 2 wheel drive. I mostly do hay, feed 4'x5' round bales and run a 8' bush hog on some hilly ground. I have some concern about the emissions regeneration process on all these new Deere machines. Will be considering MFWD also. Looked and drove: 5100M- nice cab and features - but somewhat lightweight. 6105D- simple heavy tractor with good cab - but would rather it had hydraulic brakes. 6105M- very nice cab & controls, heavy and looks well built - but it has a large price increase and more complicated electronics etc. I like the 6105D for the money but do have reservations about the mechanical brakes and haven't heard a lot about their reliability since Deere added the 12 speed transmission. New Holland and Kubota are about the only other options in this area, have looked and drove some New Hollands, including T4, T5 and T6 series, however they are in the process of changing several models. Another option is just keep the 6300 another 4-5 years, just has 4200 hours, only problem with it is keeping the ac working and age. It is always good to have plenty of input, so let the good, bad and ugly fly! [/QUOTE]
