[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1703776, member: 6291"] So we ended up pulling the trigger on a used 2016 JD 6120E, 4wd, with loader. It has the 24/12 transmission with the power shift. I've been shredding roads and hunting spots with a 16' batwing the last month or so with it and I'm very pleased. It has more than enough power. It's nice to ride in as far comfort, ac, radio, air ride seat, etc. Its a ton smoother than our old tractor. It's nice but not fancy which I like. It doesn't have all the draft controls and things like that I dont need any ways. The transmission is set up good and I have no complaints about finding a certain speed. The power shift is extremely handy. The 25mph top speed is pretty quick on a tractor, even on a good road. 😄 The tractor has way more hydraulic power than rear end. We added rear wheel weights and a grapple. If you grab some thing that does not give it has no problem lifting the rear of the tractor up in a heart beat. It took some time getting use to the sensitivity and power of the loader. It does have DEF but uses like one of the jugs per 3 or 4 tanks of diesel. I'm use to running def in my trucks so I dont really see it as an inconvenience. For all the bad press I've read about the E models I'm just not seeing it when driving it. In fact it's quite the upgrade from our old tractor. Time will tell on the longevity I guess. For some one needing a ranching tractor to move hay, shred, disk, spray, do road work, dirt work, odds and ends it's more than capable IMO. The only thing I did give up is turning radius which is to be expected. Every thing else is a noticable upgrade. [/QUOTE]
