nw pa | Have had almost all the different brands and they all will serve the purpose. Lately have been buying more green paint than we used to. Getting older and even though I'm not in love with it somebody else will be. Any of the brands can do the job, Agco parts seem a lot higher to buy than others. Good thing we don't need many. One trip a year to the dealer will get the oils and filters to run and anything else they send. The local JD dealer is the pits,never has much and if you want it. You better be ready to pay any saving in parts to the special order. Can't understand why if they have it in the catalog why it should be special order.
The Cases seem to start the best. The Massey's use the least amount of fuel. The Jd's are green.
I have noticed through the years that most of the JD folks don't bat an eye when plunking down a bunch of money for parts. Think it's just part of doing business.
As far as the resale value on JD, no doubt it is there. Also know that using other brands along the way is what allowed us to finally buy some green paint. If I were buying new I would always buy the JD,buying used is a different story. The other brands will do the job and even if it is worthless in the end it will probabaly save you money. When you consider a ten year tractor deal and pay twice as much for the deere,you could have bought another with interest.
All this means nothing if you can afford it and maybe need a big tax deduction. | |
