Interesting tractor comparison. I didn’t realize the smaller Deere were 4 cylinder. We bought blue because we have a great dealership that sells New Holland and they’re closer than JD. We’ve just never been able to justify the cost of new green. That is pretty alfalfa and corn. Looks like you’ve gotten more rain than us.

Fertility goes along way, even in a drought!

My older tractors freeze me out just as well as my newer ones

Still not much rain, I wonder if it will ever come in time to grow enough feed .

Just gotta keep on keeping on!

Like New Holland but the problem I have is finding a dealer that is convenient for me. My local dealer had his license pulled by New Holland .

[@e.a.bfarms]

That's a shame, wonder what happened. . .

Only thing that really holds me back from Deere (besides my mom 😂) is usually the price tag. Id rather put that money towards other implements instead. About when i purchased a used T9 a few years ago, and bought a used 40ft drill two years later - shopping around all those years, a similar John Deere setup would have cost $200k more.

Yeah, They sure are proud of their paint. . .

@@e.a.bfarms Buy what your budget demands but I have found that JD tractors are cheaper over time. I currently have JD tractors because they are the best value

[@Corncob_Ethan.7]

So I do have a question: how many new holland dealers are in the USA, and are they as reliable as Deere? Thanks!

[@e.a.bfarms]

Couldn't tell you how many dealers, As far as dealers being reliable there are good and bad dealers with both.

[@Corncob_Ethan.7]

@@e.a.bfarms oh thank you! Also, if you were comparing the reliability of a new holland tractor and a JD tractor, which one do you prefer?

[@bethmotgomery2662]

Excuse me for asking. Is that new Holland a t5 or 6? Just learning about new Holland though being a john deere fan.

[@e.a.bfarms]

It's a TS A. Be similar to a T6 175.
