[QUOTE="OklaBrangusBreeder, post: 276677, member: 2672"] John Deere makes maybe three different Models in the 65 PTO HP range.. - The 5403 is the lightest, least featured model in that range that JD offers. It is 74HP engine, 65HP PTO. - The 5425 is 81HP engine, 65HP PTO. This is what I would call a "mid-feature" machine. - The 6215 is 90HP enigine, 72HP PTO. This is JD's top of the line in that rough size category. Each offers features that may be of interest to you based on how you anticipate using your machine. The more "hard core" farming you intend to do, the more features you might be willing to pay for. Just be sure you are comparing a JD model with equivalent features to the Kubota. Hard to say which is "right" for you verses the Kubota. I bought one in this same size range a few years ago. I went with the Farmtrac 675 (72HP engine, 65HP PTO). It features a Perkins diesel (which I really value) and was heavier with higher hydraulic lift capacities than the Kubota. Price was several thousand less as well. EDIT: After looking at the JD website, I think they would consider the 5425 to be their equivalent model to the Kubota 7040. [/QUOTE]
