John Deere 8560 Discing

How is the 8560 reliablility wise and what size implements are you pulling with it? We are looking at an 8560 to take the load off of our 4650. We will be pulling a 21 foot disc and crumbler, and a 5 shank ripper.

Reliability is good, any issues you’d have are the same as any other Deere. I’ve had to do the water pump on it. I pull the 24ft disc no problem and I get into some steep hills. As well as a 13 shank chisel plow which doesn’t phase it either. Overall good tractor. I think you’d like it. If you can, get an oil sample from it. That helped me find out the water pump was bad before it took out the engine
